Hello All, Fish Tales is pleased to announce an exciting week of events planned at the shop: Wednesday January 14: Open Vise Night with Fish Tales Staff Start Time: 7:00 PM Cost: Free Join Fish Tales staff members as we turn off the open sign and break out the vises. Once a month (except for July, August, September) we will gather together to share stories, re-stock the fly boxes and learn tips and tactics from one another. This event is free, open to the public and goes from about 7-9 p.m. Thursday January 15: Tying the "Gamechanger" with Terry Johnson. Start Time: 7:00 PM Cost: $35 (includes course materials) One of the latest innovations from FlyMen Fishing Co. is the articulated fish spine which is ”an innovative system of interconnected, articulated shanks that combine to form a multi-jointed “fish spine” upon which incredibly animate and realistic baitfish patterns can be tied. The future of articulation has arrived!” This product is being used by Umpqua and other fly manufacturers to create articulated minnow patterns unlike anything folks have created to date. Check out “Blane Chocklett’s Gamechanger” video here. Sunday January 18: Aaron Caldwell on Steelhead Start Time: 1:00 PM Cost: FREE Join Aaron for this session focussed on all things steelhead. Aaron Caldwell is one of Fish Tales’ guides for the first two-thirds of each season…. but come the third week of August for the last two seasons (and going forward) he’s off to his other guiding gig at B.C.’s Babine Norlakes Steelhead Camp. Anyone who’s met Aaron during his day’s in the shop or during a day of guided fishing knows that angling is in his blood. His passion for tying, fishing, and the resource in general is boundless. During this session Aaron will discuss flies, lines, fishing tactics, and provide an overview of some of his favorite gear for targeting B.C. steelhead. First people in get the seats and coffee! We look forward to seeing you! -Your Friends at Fish Tales
