New Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Group
New Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Group
Starting in March 2023, I would like to start a Fly Fishing Group within the Nelson District Rod and Gun
Club.
The Vision of this group is to promote fly fishing as a sporting and conservation activity that can be
enjoyed by all through fish conservation, member participation, and education.
Depending on Club interest, I could potentially organize the following events:
- Club – Fly Tying Nights. Club members can attend a bi-weekly social evening with similarly
talented members and bring their personal fly-tying equipment /supplies. Create your own fly or
work on a specific fly pattern. Basic support can be provided between members. - Club – Specialized Fly Tying Nights. With enough interest, specialized fly tying nights could be
organized where a club member/guest can lead a step-by-step fly pattern. Potentially, future
fundraising may be able to provide communal tying materials and equipment. - Guest Speakers – Potential guest speakers could be arranged to join us such as Fish Biologists,
local expert fly tyers, fishing guides, etc. - Trip Planning – Discussion/Organization of fishing trips including our favorite stillwaters or local
rivers.
Before the Club can begin organizing, I am canvassing Club members to see what level of interest there
is in both attending and co-organizing the club or events. There is a potential night available at the club
and I will keep everyone informed as soon as I determine the level of interest. Deadline for feedback is
end of February.
If you are a fly fisher/tyer or know anyone in the club who would be interested, please contact Drew at:
flygroupnelson@gmail.com or 250-505-6630.
Hope to see you soon! Tight Lines.
