Charles Jardine, one of the worlds best known fly tiers visited the Branch on Tuesday and presented his talk "the fly and why?". With an audience of 30 he resented a general discussion on matching the hatch, identifying the rise, targeting fish, what they can see and the frustration of early strikes. In the second half of the evening he tied 7 different flies developing the concepts from his earlier session and demonstrating his control and mastery of the materials. In the process of tying these flies Charles kept the audiences attention with his humour and banter. A long session of growing our knowledge of why a fly works and how to tie s some new patterns. THANK YOU Charles Jardine |
