Cabin Fever Retreat
Every year of bunch of fly tyers get together at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Springbrook State Park Conservation Educaton Center for a weekend of fly tying and other fun things. This is a fantastic place to have a group meeting.
This year I wanted to experiment with some new patterns and here are some I tied up.
Spoon Fly - This is a saltwater fly used on redfish. I hope to use it on walleyes and smallmouth bass. It has a fantastic action in the water.
