Tying for Conservation Returns

Trout Unlimited Canada’s

Tying for Conservation fundraiser is back. Mark your calendars, and please donate to watch and learn!

Our first virtual tying seminar is this Thursday, February 3 @ 7:00 PM MST.  Join Ron Schletz as ties some of his favorite Bow River flies.

From now until April talented Canadian fly tyers are using their skills to raise funds for Conservation. Signup for one or all and join and watch these amazing tyers demonstrate their skills as they provide instruction on a variety of pattern styles, from unique intricate trout patterns to majestic Spey and Atlantic Salmon. Join in, ask questions, have a laugh, and enjoy an evening with us to protect those fisheries we can’t wait to experience this season.

A minimum $25 donation will get you into the session of your choice. But you’re not limited to 1 session! Some of the tyers have also graciously offered additional value-added perks should you wish to support this campaign by making a larger donation.
