Virtual Fly Tying
Tuesday, June 23rd

This week, Glen Cormier will lead us in tying the "Black Boudreaux", a pattern created by Ray Boudreaux of New Iberia, a longtime member of Acadiana Fly Rodders. Ray had just joined AFR and participated in a fishing outing at a local pond. One of the members was having great success catching bream on a small fly. Ray tried to recreate the fly and in the process, came up with something new and different. Fellow member Bob Boese was so impressed with the fly, he named it after Ray.
The original pattern uses the following materials:
- hook: size 14 scud
- thread: size 8/0
- tail: brown kip tail
- body: peacock herl
- hackle: grizzly hackle
- eyes: small black bead chain
As our usual procedure, Catch will first do a walkthough demonstration of the fly that will be recorded for later use. After the walkthrough, attendees can tie or watch and ask questions.
