As you will already know, the tying of a good fly is somewhat of an art.  At the Lonely Loon Flyfishers Society, we not only encourage you to take up the past-time of fly-tying, but we also have clinics where you will get the help you need.   We have a wide variety of Rainbow Trout and Steelhead Salmon flies that members of the club use, and suggest you to try a variety of patterns.

If you experience any success while using one of these patterns, please do not be afraid to let us know, so we can add the location to our list, and publish your story on-line!  If there are any patterns that you would like to add to our list, please feel free contact the Web Master.
