WHEN: The first session will be held on January 19, 2010.  Every other Tuesday evening from 7:30-9:30 PM

WHERE:  Rockville Izaak Walton League Clubhouse (same venue as the chapter meetings). 8301 Waring Station Rd.  Germantown, Md. 20874. 301-972-1645The format for the tying sessions will be essentially the same as last year.  Five sessions will consist of tying.  The 6^th and last session will be fishing with our flies in the IWL pond.  Charles August will teach beginners.  Tools and materials will be provided. 

A curriculum for beginners will include the green weenie and green caddis nymph (session #1), wooly buggers (session #2),  pheasant tail and gold ribbed hare’s ear nymphs (session #3),  cream and other “variant” dry flies (session #4), elk hair  and X caddis flies (session #5).

An experienced tier from the chapter will serve as “guru” for members who have advanced beyond the “beginner” stage.  These will include Dick Switalski, Leslie Gollehon, John Lachin, and Allen Smeltz.  Members are encouraged to bring their questions,  patterns they would like to learn to tie, and materials to share and exchange. 

Greetings all, Happy 2010! Our first meeting of the new year is Wednesday January 27th.  The meeting will feature a presentation on Fly Tying by by Jim Greco. To aid in letting members see his demonstration it will be projected onto a screen.  Jim will present some new Hendrickson patterns that worked for him on the Delaware system this year.  The techniques may be known to some but you won’t see them in a fly shop.  Please include this in the newsletter.  Bring your own tying material and tie after Jim has finished his demonstration.The meeting place - an interim change - will be at the Montgomery County Up-County Regional Service Center; 12900 Middlebrook Road. Germantown, MD 20874, 240-777-8000, THIRD FLOOR ROOM D .This is the same location, but in a different room, we held meetings in the past.
