May Fly Tying Class: No Mess Mouse

by Elaine Cook - Fly Tying Chairman



No Mess Mouse

May 14 6:30 PM @ Aptos Grange

Mouse patterns are becoming popular for bass and even trout fisherman. This is an easy fly to tie and good size. Please bring brown 6/0 thread. If you don’t have this thread, bring another 6/0 and there will be a Sharpie pen to color your thread. If you are a beginner, which we always welcome, there will be thread, vice, and tools for you to use. Please sign up at the club meeting or call me with at least 24 hours notice. 831-234-6515. As always the class is free and all materials provided. We never seem to have enough table lights, so if you have one, please bring it.


Future tying classes. Dates and subject may change, please go to Fly Name to see more information.

Date Fly Excerpt
Royal TrudeJun 11 6:30 pm - 8:30 pmRoyal Trude

The fly for the June fly tying class is the Royal Trude. Participants will need black thread.
The Royal Trude is a classic, versatile attractor fly pattern known for its bold appearance and ability to float well in rough water, featuring a calf hair wing, golden pheasant tail, peacock body, and a heavy brown hackle. We use it to imitate caddis and ants, as well as a general attractor. The royal trude is still one of the most versatile attractors in the west.

There will be a sign-up sheet at the monthly club meeting the week prior to this fly tying class (June 4th).  Greg will also be present at the May club meeting with the sign up sheet.

If you are unable to sign up at the club meeting, Greg can be reached for sign-ups at (831) 239-8780

The class will start at 6:30pm, doors open at 6:15pm.
