From the Chair of the Fly Tying Group, Jack Gillis: (rotate this section every two weeks)

This is just a concept page. The format is not fixed in stone, easily changed. The idea is create a webpage that can be put on the hone page of ever council and for that matter on any club webpage. The address will be static, we make changes and all the sites will see those changes. if we changes the information every couple of weeks, this should keep people coming back to the page. I do not mind doing the updates, but what I need in content. So what does the mean, well each year the governors will need to write 2-3 articles/videos/slide shows/etc/etc per year. 

One idea is show value for being an FTG member, working with a couple of suppliers (not main stream yet) to over a discount on their products around the holiday season. (10-20% off) Can use some help here.

In the future we can think about having a classified section and request donations from the sales of material, etc. (FTG members only)

If we get enough hits on the site, we can advertise in the future!!! easy money for FTG 

Also, we could do a new FTG Section and at the end of every month, have a drawing for a fly, a doszen flies, a print of a fly, a book —-from one of our Buszek award winners / governors (12 items a year)

Also, can easily setup an Auction on this page/ raffle to generate income but more importantly a way to increase traffic to this page!!!!!!!!!

A few flies tied by Aaron Culley, member of the FTG group as well as Director fro the WSCFFI

 

 

 

Hands of a Master Harry Lemire

We can make the image much, much bigger

This section to showcase the flies of members of the FTG group, there are so many talented members, we use this section to showcase books of their flies. These are flies tied in hand by Harry Lemire. Upon his death, Marlene his wife gave me the Hard Drive containing many of Harry’s flies. I am putting them in a book format to share with others. In the future we can rotate the books out of this section and place them in a digital library for future reference. This is area which need to be changed out every other week, 26 times a year. This will keep bring people back. (need to setup at least 3 months buffer)

Order your copy of Fly Tying for All Fish All Waters

This new hard cover, 350-page book, is packed with high quality photos and articles from some of the finest fly tiers in the world. All profits from the sale of the book will benefit the further development of the Buszek Memorial Fly Tying Library of Fly Fishers International. This library is an online resource where educational and instructional materials created by recipients of FFI’s Buz Buszek Memorial Fly Tying Award are memorialized and available to all.

In the fall of 2024 tiers gathered for an annual rendezvous in Dallas, Texas, and 30 tiers who fish all waters for all fish shared their favorite patterns. You will learn not only how to tie the flies but some of their history and tips on how to fish them.

A “Looking Back” chapter features tiers from the conclaves of FFF over thirty years ago. Wayne Luallen, Craig Mathews, Bruce Staples, Scott Sanchez, Masao Sakaguchi, and Al & Gretchen Beatty revisit their patterns and experiences.

Renown fly tiers show you how to improve your game in, “How can I become a Better Tier?” Articles and photos that will take your tying to the next level from Hans Van Klinken, Charlie Craven, Skip Morris, Dave Whitlock, Craig Mathews, Al Ritt, Kelly Galloup, Jerry Coviello and more.
