Flytying Club/Evening - North Dublin

hipster50

Hi ALL

Anyone interested in setting up a Flytying session in North Dublin, either weekly or fortnightly? My Interest is in trout flies - Lough fishing primarily but I am open to organise for all types. Pike , salt water etc...

Just want to get some like minded people together and swap techniques,stories and ideas.

If you are interested please reply to this thread and i will be happy to source a venue and organise.


All levels, welcome.


Hipster.

count me in. I tie mostly river trout flies but some lough ones as well as flies for perch, pike and bass. Live in D7 and happy enough to give/share a lift with others.

probably a bit ambitious to kick it off this side of Christmas but a great idea for the dark evenings of jan/feb.

if you need a hand with anything let me know.

snipe and purple & woodcock and Hare lug are two that spring to mind. great soft hackle patterns. if you have wings/skins going spare please donate to the new club. I will happily demo the above flies with them...

I'm in Trim but wouldn't mind making the trip every couple of weeks. Count me in too.

PS. Hope you have a big table and the missus doesn't mind all the indentations from the vices

Great response so far. I'm going to look at venues now and look at starting first week of Jan.

Guys, I presume Hipster is unable to run with this idea- I PMd him last week and have had no response... I am fairly sure there is a community hall in my general area which I think could be used. If folks are still up for a tying evening, I can found out??

I'm still on for it.
