This is a pretty cool program that Loon Outdoors will be operating during January of 2016. Every Tuesday from 8-11 PM (Central Time), Loon will be live-streaming some fly tying demonstrations. It will be interactive in nature and they will field questions that are submitted in real-time. There will be 5 flies tied each week and they will all be pretty simple in nature, hence the name "Fly Tying 101". There is a downloadable list of materials that you will need for each session as well as a list of tools. You can even enter a contest to win free fly tying tools and accessories during the event as well. Finally, if you can't catch the live event, that's alright because the episodes will be saved and posted for viewing at a later time. I am guessing that a few folks that visit this site received a fly tying kit for Christmas, so here is a great way to get started with a hobby that just might start to consume you...I mean bring joy to your life.

If you already have a little experience behind the vice and need some patterns to tinker with, then here is a link to the entire Loon fly tying catalog of videos. This is the perfect cure for cabin fever. I take that back. Going outside is the perfect cure for cabin fever but when the weather stinks, fly tying helps too.
