Fly Tying Sessions at Chris Johnson’s fly shop

Chris hosts fly tying sessions each Thursday night, starting at 7:00pm, at his Living Waters Fly Fishing shop. The shop’s address is 309 West Main Street Suite #110 , Round Rock. Tiers bring their own vises and materials; there is no cost to participate. Beginners and non-tyers are welcome to come and watch; there will always be people there to answer questions, give instruction, or just talk fly fishing.

Fly-A-Thon 2012, January 1, 2012 - Rod Viator

A fly tying Fly-A-Thon 2012, will begin on January 1, 2012, at Living Waters Fly Fishing, Round Rock, Texas.

All the flies from the Fly-A-Thon will be donated and distributed to Reel Recovery and the Casting for Recovery programs.

Reel Recovery and Casting for Recovery were created to help men and women in the cancer recovery process by introducing them to the healing powers of the sport of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment to explore their personal experiences of cancer with others who share their stories.

The idea of the Fly-A-Thon is to get together a gang of fly tiers to commit to donating 100-flies apiece by the end of the event. Fly tiers just need to sit down and tie 5-10 flies a night or a couple of nights a week. There is no need to mass produce flies all at one time. If you are interested, pick a pattern to tie or several patterns, buy a box of 100-hooks, get the materials and get tying!

Participants need not be present at the culmination of the event on March 31, 2012, to donate.

You don’t have to be an expert fly tier to donate flies for these worthy causes. Even newbie fly tiers may participate; this is a chance to become very good tying new patterns. If you need help learning a pattern, please contact Chris Johnson at Living Waters Fly Fishing, and he will be happy to give you a lesson.

The culmination of the event will be an all day Fly-A-Thon party on March 31, 2012, at Living Waters Fly Fishing between 9 AM and 5 PM
