It's been a while since I've done any "man crafts" so I dusted off the vise and headed down to Bow River Troutfitters yesterday for their Tuesday lunch time tying lessons... It was great with 4 of us getting a semi private lesson.
We tied the "Clouser Minnow". I finally learned the secret for not having my barbell eyes slip anymore! I guess the previous week they tied an "Intruder"! They provide all material and charge on a "per-fly basis", not bad for a lunch time activity to get me out of the office...
Bob would probably be unimpressed, but I'm quite proud since it's been a few years for me...
