Beginner's Fly-tying Workshop at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery

Written By

Giving people an opportunity to stay connected to the outdoors but out of the cold this winter, Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery hosted a Beginner’s Fly-tying workshop! Led by Roy Meeks and Dan Jackman of Kentuckiana Fly Tiers, this workshop gave an introduction to the basic tools and techniques of fly-tying. Participants were provided a fly-tying kit and materials so that each of them were able to leave with worms and woollyboogers they tied themselves. Look out, Hatchery Creek!
