This years West Denver TU Fly Tying Clinic is shaping up to be the biggest and best ever. We have over 5 dozen fly tiers. They wil be demonstating everything from fresh water, saltwater, Steelhead patterns to fully dressed Atlantic Salmon flies.

This is a unique show in that it is fly tying only. 5 dozen of the best of the West.

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Before I took up fly tying I would watch these guys for a few minutes then move on. Now I have a greater appreciation of their skills. Never too old to learn a few new tricks of the trade.[/size][/green][/font]
