Bring your vise, tools and materials and work on whatever you'd like. We'll be demoing some of our favorite composite loop techniques and winter steelhead patterns. We'll bring extensions and power strips but a personal tying light…

We absolutely love tying Intruder style flies! Sitting at the vise, sipping a cold beer or hot coffee, while spinning up the latest swinging creation is some of the most fun one can have off of the water. One of the things that we love about tying Intruder style flies is that there really are no rules. Yeah, there are some loose proportions and guidelines but other than that it is entirely up to the tier to bring their vison…

We had so much fun at our last K2 tying night that we're going to do it again. The lighting was decent, the beer even better and we had a good turnout of folks with a lot of creativity on tap. Anyone is welcome to come tie or simply watch and imbibe. It's anyone's guess what we may be tying but likely we'll delve into some spring Puget Sound saltwater patterns or early season stillwater trout stuff. Bring your vise,…
