Tonasket 6th Grade Camp Fly Tying

   Gary and I headed up to Lost Lake to get in a little Brook Trout fishin in before we do the Fly Tying class for the Tonasket School 6 grade Spring Camp.

 Bill and Ken show up just as we were in the water, they are going to help with the class this year. The fishing was slow all day with Ken doing the best fishing in his pontoon boat. Gary and I were in his 12ft alum. Boat trolling around with his electric motor and going way to fast. We managed to pick up a fish here and there, but not many

.

Out of the water shortly after five, all packed up and headed over to the mess hall.

 I took over Bill’s spot 4 years ago. Bill 90 yrs. young, used to do this class but with his eyes not being what they used to be can’t drive at nite. That’s how he got Ken involved, the night driver.

Ken dug the hell out of helping and it looks like we may join us again next year.

We had 12 kids just the right amount and at the age that they can get into it.  Woolly Buggers is the fly we always tye. I tye one first and explain each step and why, then we all do one together. Most look like they will catch fish. This year we had two kids that were really into it and asked lots of question.

I look forward to doing it every year.  Teaching the next generation
