PENTICTON FLYFISHERS

George Graw – Fly Tyer & Fly Fisherman George has become one of the better fly tyers in the club and is always the first one to help someone out with pattern problems or techniques. His credentials are impeccable as he was trained by Chris Cousins with his attention to size, detail and materials proving his training. While on the river he always opens his box to help someone out and does not charge the usual $5.00 per fly on the water. George has branched out with some of his alterations on traditional patterns to increase his versatility as a tyer. George is now doing some custom tying and runs his own classes for beginners. He goes to the schools to teach with 30 kids signed up which keeps him on his toes. George heads our fly tying sessions for the club on the second Thursday of the month during fall, winter and spring months. If you have a fly or problems with tying materials just contact George and it will be in one of our tying sessions this fall. George’s skill and desire to share this skill with others helps make our club one of the better clubs in the area. Thanks George. Regards, Tom Dellamater Ps: 4 dozens flies for Bella Coola
