The Fly Tying night is starting up again…the venue is:: the Yarrow Club at 223 Anniesland Road, Glasgow G13 1RP. The night will be a Wednesday and it starts on the 5th October at 6.30pm. I will be there, unless it stops raining, in which case I will be fishing….and then wander in late!
All set and then….
So I had worked my ass off the last few days so that I could get fishing today and guess what happened?? Yup it started to rain……pfft typical! Anyway, I spent a couple of hours today tying up some Klinkhammer specials, I have been finding that when a fish took my knlinkhammers they seem to…
Very Industrious Fly Tying!!
