Fly Tying with Gary Moleon

Our Fly Tyers series continues with Gary Moleon - Sat, Novmeber 23rd

Gary became interested in fishing and fly tying when he was ten years old. He would crawl up leaning weeping willow trees and flick crawling bugs into Washington Lake ( N.J. ) where the bass and other fish would eat them. He started imitating those same bugs when he tied a yellow jacket using materials from his mother's sewing box on a size 10 Eagle Claw Hook. 

He refined his tying skills over the years and gives credit to Bill Hrinco for providing instructions. Bill is a well-known North Jersey tyer who appears at many TU Local and Regional Meetings and is a regular at the Edison Fly Fishing Show each winter. Gary is the treasurer of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild and now lives in the Catskills where he fishes, hunts and remains very active in off-shore New Jersey fishing.

CFFCM Saturday Tyers Series is offered in partnership with the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
