“How to make handmade Silk Fly Lines”

This month we will have a special guest, Jonathon Busse from Knoxville, TN. Jonathon is reportedly the only person in the United States to make hand-made furled and braided silk fly lines. He will be presenting the process that he goes through in making a silk fly line in addition to discussing the advantages of using silk over plastic. He should have a fly rod available for anyone who would like to “test drive” a silk line. Jonathon possesses a wealth of information in the area of making and using silk fly lines. He also invented and built some of the tools and machines he uses for making silk fly lines in a uniform and consistent manner. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

This month’s meeting will be conducted by several of our members.  This will be especially fun for children and teenagers.  We will be providing free instruction in fly casting, rigging a rod properly, line mending, tandem rigging techniques, and how to read water.  Some contests are planned for casting with prizes, so you won’t want to miss this event.  Most likely we will also be demonstrating, but NOT teaching how to untangle your leader as well.  Please join us for some fun and make some contacts to plan your next fishing outing with a friend from TU.  Snacks and drinks will be provided.
