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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Guest Speakers – Potential guest speakers could be arranged to join us such as Fish Biologists,
    local expert fly tyers, fishing guides, etc.
  4. 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.

The match is a combination PR and SIL and 100 rounds per shooter will get the job done. If you want to do some practice shooting, show up at the outdoor range at 9:30 am. Practice targets will be set out at 100 yards. The match starts at 10:00 am and the course of fire will be explained during the match.
