still nailing down the last couple as usual but here are the first dates to get us started.
for the folks who have not attended a demo at the OOFS before- they are very informal demonstrations with a single tyer covering a specific topic. you can ask questions and get tips and pointers for the tyers and feel free to take notes. we brew up some coffee and have some donuts and what not around and have a good time while maybe learning a thing or two. of course it is all free and open to anyone to attend. parking is limited and overflow will have to park on the adjacent side streets. hope to see you there.
All on Saturday's 2-4pm
Jan 7th- Brent Kelley, Flies for Selective Trout using CDC
Jan 14th- Nick Pionessa, Tube Flies for all Species
Jan 21st- Keith Ciesla, Classic Atlantic Salmon fly
Jan 28th- Ray Tucker, great, simple flies that catch fish.
Feb 4th- Vern-o Burm, Fish Skull, Sculpin Helmet flies and articulated flies
Feb 11th- Tom Haley, flies for selective trout and the Delaware System
Feb 18th- Chris Garcea (Coach), flies for Carp with Nick Pionessa doing a few surface bass flies to top it off. warm water stuff by request!
Feb 25th- Steve Wascher, Musky flies and some deer hair stuff too.

hey nick...would it be possible to have someone do carp flies this year? It's time for coach to stop playing "king of the mountain." Every year I plan on participating in the carp-o-rama but every yr. I don't know what to tie other than the cheesy poof. thanks for the consideration...jj

Fly Tying Demo- Saturday, January 7 2:00 to 4:00 Brent Kelley
This year I am planning an “All CDC” demo to begin the series of shop tying clinics. If you want to get a solid introduction to tying with this unique material or are looking to broaden your existing repertoire with some new techniques I encourage you to attend. Although I have been tying flies since I was about eleven years old, for the last six or seven years I have really delved into the uses and applications of CDC feathers. I still tie and fish plenty of flies that don’t use CDC, but there are certain times when I am convinced that a CDC pattern is the best choice for choosy trout. In order to demonstrate a variety of uses I will be tying specific patterns that best illustrate some of the tying techniques a CDC tier should know. To that end, I will include the following patterns; CDC Rusty Spinner 3-D Olive Stone Caddis Emerger Midge Puff Emerger Biot Hanging Midge Emerger Divided Wing CDC Comparadun Since I also tie several patterns sold at the store, I would be happy to include any of these. My intent is to make this a teaching session for CDC, so come with questions and requests. Looking forward to seeing you at the shop!

thanks Brent! we are adding a new presenter this year too and it's Keith Ciesla who will be up on the 21st of January. Keith will be tying a classic Atlantic Salmon fly called the Kate. this will be a great opportunity to see a classic put together before your eyes and get the details that make this type of tying possible. one not to miss for sure. here are a few samples of Keith's work. some holiday cheer Classics

Always a pleasure to do the tying at Oak Orchard. Hopefully I convinced a few folks to add CDC to their tying repertoire as sometimes it can be extremely effective. Thanks to Nick for inviting me and thanks to those that attended.
By the way, the large rear portion of an ant is called the "gaster." During my demo the other day I could not recall that word.
