RISE FLY FISHING FILM TOUR

The RISE Film Tour Returns to Nelson at the State Theatre on

26 SEPTEMBER

The RISE Fly Fishing Film Tour is the largest fly-fishing film event of its kind in the world,

featuring a selection of the best fly-fishing films from around the globe.

This year's films take you into the science of the Costa Marlin Project, to the NZ backcountry chasing Trout on big dries,

to the deep depths of the jungle for the massive Peacock Bass, and a Steelhead story

with characters as rare as the fish itself + many, many more.

This is always a fun event on the annual angling calendar.

Get together with other club members, grab a pizza beforehand at Stefano’s, and make a night out of it.

WINTER FLY-TYING Sessions

Following on from the success of our three RECENT introductory fly-tying evenings,

the Club is running a further SIX Thursday evening fly-tying sessions,

for budding and experienced fly-tiers to learn more advanced techniques

and tie a wider range of useful trout flies.

JULY 11th and 25th

AUGUST 8th and 22nd

SEPTEMBER 5TH and 19th
Start time 7pm … at Nelson-Marlborough Fish & Game Rooms, Champion Rd

Any club member who is interested in fly-tying is welcome to come along.

There will be a demonstration of a different pattern involving new techniques each evening,

and members will be encouraged to work on expanding their skills.

However, if you would just prefer to come along and tie your own creations,

that’s all good too!

The idea is mostly to get club-members who enjoy fly-tying,

together to enjoy each other’s company, while adding to their fly boxes.

The club has six sets of fly-tying equipment available for members’ use.

Those members who have their own equipment are encouraged to bring and use it.

* Bring your vice, lamp, fly-tying tools, hooks, wire and threads.

* Specialist materials needed for demo flies will be provided.

The F&G Rooms can fit around 15 fly-tiers.

Please confirm your interest to Tony Entwistle via email to: enty10@gmail.com.
