We've been running a flytying night in Coquitlam for the past few years and I thought it would be nice to get the word out a little further afield.

The Coquitlam Tying Night is set for this coming Monday from 6:30-9:30pm. Unfortunately it's also Thanksgiving Monday, but I figure that after a weekend with the relatives, you'll probably want the break

Details:

    The Coquitlam Tying Nights are open to everyone from newbie to expert. If you're just getting started or interested in learning, we always have a few spare vises, tools, materials and a little free instruction to get you going.

    The evening takes place on the second and forth Monday of each month (with a break around Christmas). There is a $5 cover to pay for the room, with anything left over going towards door prizes. The wings are cheap on Monday's and there is a great selection of beers on tap. The tying takes place in one of the meeting rooms and not in the bar. From time to time we will set up a fly swap--put in three flies plus a toonie, get three flies back with any money collected going back into the kitty--although for this coming Monday we won't be doing a swap.


Location:

    6:30-9:30 pm
    Ridgeway Legion
    1025 Ridgeway Ave.
    Coquitlam
    Here's a map link: Map Link


Door Prize:

    On offer for the evening's door prize: a do it yourself flytying material organizer, and if we get an 9 or 10  bodies out there will also be a new pair of super sharp fine-tip tying scissors.


Theme:

    This tying night's theme is "Boatmen" (you don't have to follow the theme, but that's what I'll be working on).



Hope to see you there,

Aaron (aka skunkaroo)

Fall calendar available next month.

LOL i'm suprised you haven't advertised on this forum yet.

I might stop by on my way out of town. wont have any tying stuff with me though.

[sliverbullet]

sounds interesting might drop in as well

[skunkaroo]

Everyone is always welcome. We generally meet the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month in the off season (Oct-May) and occasionally outside of that. I'll post here prior to each get together.

Had a great time with the boatman patterns, ended up tying about seven different patterns between us.

Tight Wraps,

Aaron

There is no off season in this region. If you put in the time and actually do your homework on all waters (lake, stream, beach, & estuary) there is always water to work and a speicies to target.

[skunkaroo]

Maybe so newsman, but lets call it the "slow season" for some.

Great to get the word out to any fly guys and tyers.

These tying nights at Coquitlam are the best way to get into tying flies and learning how to use them, get out to Coquitlan and get involved, you can't go wrong.

Were from all stages of tying flies, Peter came from Kit's and had a blast, he brought nothing except his interest in getting started, Aaron is just one of some that help interested new tyers, anyone is welcome to come down and just look and listen, it's were we all started!!

COQUITLAM TYING NIGHTS...

It's Contest night!

            We're on again this coming Monday the 27th from 6:30-9:30pm and this time, courtesy of the good folks at Mustad and pro-staffer Jack Simpson, we will be having a little contest--a very little contest. We will be tying itty-bitty flies on sizes from 22 down two 28 . All hooks will be supplied, and I'll even bring down a selection of micro threads to try (for those with serious prescription glasses there will be slightly larger contest hooks available).

             At the conclusion of the contest there will be a draw among the participants or a lovely selection of Mustad Signature Fly Hooks.

COQUITLAM TYING NIGHTS...

Epoxy Night In Canada!
We're  on again this coming Monday the 12th from 6:30-9:30pm.

Details:
The Coquitlam Tying Nights are open to everyone from newbie to expert. If  you're just getting started or interested in learning, we always have  spare vises, tools, materials and a little free instruction to get you  going.

Theme:
This tying night's theme will be Epoxy Flies. There will be at least one epoxy dryer available and a few tubes of epoxy for everyone to use. If you've got some cool epoxy patterns that you've been wanting to try out, now is your chance. Epoxy is bread and butter for many salt water patterns but you freshwater types shouldn't be scared off--a thin coat of epoxy will bulletproof any chironomid pattern and epoxy headed shiner patterns are a snap. If anyone else has a portable dryer they are encouraged to bring it along. Please keep in mind that a with all themes, participation is voluntary.

Fly Swap:
We will be hosting a fly swap this week. As always, participation is voluntary.

A bump for those lonely hearts who have nothing to do on a Monday

Aaron

[James]

Is there some sort of material list for each nights theme ? I don't know what I would need to bring , or do I just bring a box full of my material/gear and start tying ?

I am very new to tying , but I have completed 10-20 of my own creation flys , mostly dry's and leeches .

I guess I will have to stop by next session and see what it's all about .

Add me to the email list if you can .
Thanks.
