If you are going for trout, having an ant pattern is very advantageous. This one will also be easy to see on the water like many patterns or not. This is relatively easy to tie so you beginners should feel comfortable coming. As always, the class is free and materials provided. If you have 8/0 black thread, please bring it. There will be some to borrow. And for you beginners there will be tools and vices available. It’s important to sign up ahead of time allowing at least 24 hours notice. If you sign up and find you can’t attend please notify me. Sign ups can happen at the club meeting or by calling 831-234-6515.
