Calling all Twin Cities area Fly Fishers and Fly Tiers

Summit Brew Tie & Bohen Primo Tail Night
Summit Tap Room | Thursday, March 12th | 6-9

The St. Paul Fly Tiers invite you to Summit Beer Hall for an evening of hanging out, craft beer, fly tying and fly fishing camaraderie. Bring your supplies and tie while enjoying a few pints of Summit beer. We’ll have a few stations of power cords available for those that require lamps for their tie station.

Stop by Summit to enjoy a few brews, tie a few flies, and check out the latest hi-grade bucktail from Brad Bohen that will be for sale. Bring your club or friends with you!

One of our favorite food trucks will be on-site, and rumour has it, there may be a band.

DIY FLY ROD ADVENTURES with CASEY SMITH

THURSDAY, MARCH 5th | 8:00

Our program for March Casey will be presenting DIY travels with a fly rod, minimalist packing, getting around, and a whole lot more.

He’ll talk about the different destinations he’s been to, with a spotlight on Chilean Patagonia.

From Casey:
Although originally wanting to be on the Professional Bass Circuit when I was young, I’ve worked as a professional touring musician, studio producer/engineer and guitar instructor for 21 years.

In the past 6 years, fly fishing has made a resurgence in my life and become an obsession. Concentrating mainly on saltwater species, I spend my time fishing half the year on Martha’s Vineyard, MA where I work, and travel the rest of the year chasing fish around the country and globe carrying everything on my back.

For our monthly program on February 6th, Brian Smolinski, owner of Lund’s Fly Shop in River Falls, will be giving a fly tying demonstration. Brian’s demonstration will be on tying musky flies with synthetics. We will also be having a few surprises and give-aways. This is one you’ll not want to miss. Watch your emails and Facebook for more info.

These are the type of flies Brian will demonstrate:

Our December 12th meeting will feature Stephen Wisner owner and guide of Eau Claire Fly Anglers. His presentation will be from 8-9:00 or so.

Stephen’s presentation will focus on identifying musky holding water in rivers. He will also answer any questions about musky rods, lines, leaders and flies, or any question that folks might have about musky fly fishing, specifically in rivers.

Stephen Wisner first cast a fly rod in 1973. Since then, he has logged thousands of days fishing. At 18, he began guiding trout fishing on the Henry’s Fork in Idaho and Madison River in Montana. He moved to Eau Claire in 1995 and discovered the thrill of chasing smallmouth bass and musky on area rivers. Stephen is a patient teacher and loves sharing his years of fishing knowledge with anglers of all skill levels.

We meet every Thursday at Gulden’s, with social hour from 6:30 to 7:30, followed by open tying (except on program nights). Some Thursdays we will have beer ties at Summit Brewery, or other local establishments. Guldens may have booked the room on short notice to other groups. Make sure to watch Club emails, our Facebook page, and web site for more info.

Tips and Techniques for Tying Traditional Steelhead Flies and with Nate Gubbins.

Nate grew up around the Coon Rapids Dam and got in to fishing early. Being one of the generation coming from “the movie” Nate first picked up an old glass fly rod when he was 11, taught himself to cast (ask him about dancing in his bedroom) and has been at it ever since. Nate recently moved back home after being away for 15 years for school and the first stages of his career, and now fishes whenever he can – which isn’t nearly enough. Nate became intrigued with salmon and steelhead flies very early in his tying, in fact was tying married wings before tying hair bugs! In addition to flyfishing and tying, Nate also builds his own rods, including starting bamboo very soon, and enjoys the art of photography for capturing it all.

For an overview, I’ll go over a number of winging styles and tips for keeping the appearance right (which really is the hardest part), a few basic patterns, proportions, some interesting materials, and I’ll have a few of my books there to page through. In addition to demonstrating as much as I can.
