MOUNTAIN EMPIRE TROUT UNLIMITED CHAPTER MEETING

INVITATION TO ALL FISHING FRIENDS

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2017 - 6 PM

Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center, Room 230

One Partnership Circle, Abingdon, VA 24212

Annual Fly Tying Seminar with

ERNIE BARKER, professional fly tyer

Join us for a short business meeting followed by this instructive hands-on workshop.

This class is for novice as well as experienced fly tyers.  Ernie will teach us the PEACOCK EMERGER.

The peacock eye quill herl is used because it imitates very well the abdominal part of dry flies and emergers. The pattern is tied on a size 16 – 20 scud hook. This pattern is very effective and will be tied with a gold bead which also generates additional strikes.
