Fly-Tying Workshops at UNH

DURHAM, NH -- As the snow piles up outside,
comfort yourself with thoughts of grabbing a fly rod
and heading out for trout, striped bass or your favorite
warm-water prey. Starting Saturday, Feb. 10, Fly-Tying
Saturdays, a series of four workshops at the University
of New Hampshire¼s Dimond Library, will help both
beginning and intermediate fly-tiers get ready for the
approaching season.
Bill Cass, assistant director of Career Services at UNH,
coordinates the workshops. A lifelong fly-fisher, Cass
was formerly technical director at Orvis in Manchester,
Vt., and taught in its world-famous fly-fishing school.
He will introduce the basics of fly-tying: the selection
of materials and equipment and a number of standard
patterns that each participant should master. The
workshops will offer intermediate tiers a forum for
exchanging fly patterns, ideas, and new techniques.
Aaron Adams, a tier from the Boston area, will join the
series in April and May to share his expertise on warm-
water and saltwater patterns.
Scheduled sessions are as follows: Feb. 10: Simple
Flies that Catch Fish; March 24: Classic Trout Flies;
April 14: Flies for Bass and Panfish; and May 12: Flies
for Striped Bass. All sessions will run from 1 to 4:30
p.m. in the Milne Special Collections and Archives
Department, on the first floor of Dimond Library.
There is no charge for the workshops, but a donation of
$5 per session is suggested to cover the cost of
materials. Participants are expected to supply basic
equipment and tools, including a vise, bobbin, dubbing
needle, and scissors. The workshops are limited to 10
participants.

Department maintains the Milne Angling Collection,
one of the largest collections of angling literature in the
United States. The collection, which now numbers
more than 3,500 volumes, is particularly rich in
materials relating to fly-fishing for trout and Atlantic
salmon, with special emphasis on fishing in New
England and eastern Canada. The collection also boasts
a vast array of books on fly-tying, rod making, and
stream tactics. The collection is open to the public and
will be available for use by workshop participants.
