History on the Fly, 18 October 2024, The Beattys First Flies. In this episode, the Beattys each tie (again) the first fly(s) they ever tied. For Gretchen, it was the Gray Hackle Yellow and for Al is was a Bucktail Streamer. Al follows his first-fly demonstration with a presentation on tying a Woolly Worm with the aid of a bobbin or vise. The program was closed out with a group discussion on old fly patterns, snelling hooks, and other historical items/ideas.
