January 3rd Meeting to Feature Matt Ebbers

Annual Meeting to Feature Matt Ebbers

Thursday, January 3rd at 7:30pm

To kick-off 2019, we will be having a tying presentation by Matt Ebbers, a Loon Outdoors Ambassador, a Prostaff member of Fly Fish Food  and Firehole Outdoors. He currently has several fly patterns being tied and sold through Fulling Mill. Matt is also an accomplished photographer, and has quite a few great photos published over the years. Make sure to check out his work!

Here’s some background on Matt:

I distinctly remember being 12 and watching someone tie flies at some fishing convention my dad had brought me to. Not having a clue as to what I was doing I went home, tore apart a feather pillow, swiped a spool of thread from my mom and stuck a hook from my tackle box in a bench vice and was hooked for life.

After several months of this my father signed me up for my first fly tying class. The late Bob Mitchell of Bob Mitchell’s Fly Shop was my first fly tying instructor. He was a very patient man who would help me with my tying long after the classes would end. I tied flies for almost a year before I ever went fly fishing.

My first big trip was to the Big Horn River in Montana. Seeing those big fish take a fly that I tied is a memory I won’t ever forget. In my early 20’s I took an advanced fly tying class taught by Tracy Peterson. He really helped propel me to a new level in the fly tying game. He also was the first person that I had met who made money selling flies. There was no turning back now!

I live in Minnesota and fish the driftless area of MN and WI. I try and make it out west as often as possible. I have been heavily influenced over the years by western fly tiers and patterns. I try and bring some of that style back to the upper Midwest in the patterns that I tie. I have spent most of my life fishing for trout in rivers but have opened up to other warm water species in the past few years.

A couple of years ago my brother said I should look into Instagram. I could combine the skills I had in photography and fly tying. I posted a few pictures of some flies I had tied and the thing kind of took off. Now I have a pretty steady business selling my flies. Every day I am humbled by the amount of people who seem to like what I do. Also the number of very talented tiers and great companies out there is amazing. This is a great time to be fly fishing and fly tying!

~Matt

Andy Selvig presentation on deer hair packing and stacking

Monthly Program and Business Meeting Tomorrow
02/01/18

This Thursday, February 1st, we will have a brief business meeting followed with a presentation by Andy Selvig on stacking and packing deer hair.

This is really a great technique to learn because:

  • You can tie much better deer hair creations than what is typically available in the local flyshop bin. (with the exception of Pat Cohen tied flies available at Lunds Fly Shop).
  • You can learn to pack and trim deer hair so tight, it will float like cork and you’ll swear your fly was carved out of balsa, and colored with a marker pen.
  • You can build a fly so durable that it not only can survive an epic day of bass fishing, but is durable enough to take on the entire season.
  • You can learn, how to incorporate really cool different colors into striking patterns, up/down, spots, and banding through the stacking process.

We’ll be using a modified color scheme of a local favorite fly, the Wilderdilch as our model and improving it into something of a Wilderdilch 2.0. Although Tony insists it won’t REALLY be a true Wilderdilch….. this may raise some neck hackles, although they’ll be deer hair hackles! This presentation and demonstration will be conducted by Andy Selvig, a St. Paul fly Tiers member who sometimes gets out to fish.
