Kids and Fly tying this weekend in Nanaimo
Our kids recently had a chance to try their hand at tying flies during the book launch for our friend Rick Passek’s book, The Freshman Flyfisher. They loved it, and they also liked the fact that Rick’s 13 year old son Ryan was the one teaching them the intricate winding and turning. Rick says a lot more kids and a lot more women are discovering the joys of fly-fishing, especially when you can just catch and release!
When it came time to tie her own fly, our youngest insisted that hers be bright pink and, as it turns out, the colour can be very useful for imitating certain bugs. Who knew? Well, you can find out this weekend. On Saturday April 26 there’s the Fly Fishing Trade Show at the Grand Hotel in Nanaimo and then on Sunday April 27, the Nanaimo Fish & Game Club is holding a Fly Fishing Open House.
