January Fly Tying Class: Pheasant Tail Bonefish/Surf Fly

by Barry Bert



Pheasant Tail Bonefish/Surf fly

Jan 14 6:30 PM @ Aptos Grange

This fly is a favorite of Yvon Choinard (Patagonia) an avid fly fisher in both salt and freshwater.  The Pheasant Tail Bonefish fly works well in thin as well as higher saltwater flats, we recommend tying the fly with a variety of weight eyes from beadchain to heavier barbell eyes.  This fly is also effective for catching fish in the surf locally.

The techniques we will use to tie are intermediate level, and beginners are welcome to attend and learn the more advanced skills.  As usual classes are free and materials are provided.  Bring flo orange or white flat waxed nylon or similar material. There are vises and tools for beginners to use.

Please sign up at the club meeting or call/text Larry at 831 325 4589, with at least 24 hours notice which means notify me no later than Tuesday January 13th by noon.
