We are approved to begin jig tying at the new Cabelas in Allen.
We will be having the get together the third Thursday of each month from 7 to 9 PM. We will be setup in the fishing department near the fly fishing desk.
This is for those who want to learn to tie for the first time all the way to the pros that might want to teach or even learn a few new tricks.
If you have a vise bring it. If you don't I'll have a few for you to use. Materials will be provided also.

Calling all pro and semi pro tiers!!!
I would like to see three or four of us rotate teaching/demonstrating tying tips and tricks.
I know there is a lot of talent out there and it would be great if we all could share.

We will start next Thursday (July 21st) at 7PM.
Hope to see you all there.

how heavy does the jighead need to be before its not fly tying??

A jig tying video podcast would be cool as well...

Wish we had that at the Cabelas at the Ft Worth location.

A jig is a fly because, if you can cast it with a fly rod it's a fly!

Dang, gonna miss the first one....will be out of town working. Bummer. I'll make the next one!

Dave,
Sorry, you won't be able to make it.
Do you want to chair the one in August?

Well if all I have to do is show up, tie a poor jig and BS...I'm in!!! That I can do! If'n folks want some fancy stuff then I'm in trouble! I can surely handle the basics.

They got a table to set up on?

The first couple of GTG will be "the basic crappie jig".
Yes, they will have tables and chairs for us.

I will be there.

+ 1

Wish I could make it this month but looks like it won't happen. Maybe next month....

We'll be there!!!

What to bring? I have materials to tie jigs. Do I bring them in the store?

Sure, they'll tag them at the front. Just tell them why you're there. I'll be there early to remind them.

Yall have fun tonight...Need some pics Jerry !

Had a good time tonight Jerry, always good to sit around and bull squat, even better when catching crappie or tying jigs. Learned a few things too. Looking forward to next months get together.

The session was great. Jerry was very patient and helpful. I will try to take a pic of the jigs I tied and post them up a little bit later.

Here is a pic.

Jerry tied the one at the top.
I tied the ones below.

Looks like ya'll are off to a great start...

We had a good time. There were 5 of us. Two first timers, one second timer, one semi pro, and then the old guy who was supposed to be teaching. Everyone did very well. Basic thread on hook and material was the plan and I think they all got it.
Next month we'll step it up a little and add a few twists.

Nice job Jerry !!! Wish I was closer to you guy's...

Im sure every appreciates your help and expertise.

Very nice gents! Jerry , very nice gesture by stepping up, and sharing the hobby! I may try to make the journey once or twice.
Keep up the good work guys.

well I am assuming this is still on fer next week, August 18th! I will bring a vise and can show how to tie some basic jigs. I ain't a pro by no means!

Lookin forward to meeting some new faces!
