Covid 19 up date

The Workshops under the Covid 19 rules have now started and thanks to the efforts of everyone concerned have been very successful. The first video for the FDG Bronze Award is now uploaded accessible from the Home page. The rest will follow as John Poote records them, thank you John. The Gallery is also being updated and any pictures you may have recent, or otherwise, and would like to share please send to Geoff.

• We are only allowed 6 persons in the Hall as per recent Government restriction.
• Due to all the cleaning rules of the kitchen area all members should bring their own flask of tea or coffee and any biscuits or cakes they desire to eat.
• Due to the maximum allowance in the Hall of 6 persons it will be necessary for members who want to attend each meeting  to register this with Keith Allison by e mail  2 days before the meetings. This is very important as we don’t want members travelling unnecessarily to the hall only to find there are already 6 persons there.
• Masks must be worn during the meetings.
• We will ensure the tables and chairs are cleaned before and after each meeting.
• Any members to wishing complete the FDG Bronze Award please let Keith Allison know.

The proposed Club Grayling trip to Wales 26th – 30th October will have to be postponed  until next year.

Club Information

We are a long established club which in a friendly and informal group have been meeting to tie flies and talk about our fishing exploits. After 30 years we have decided to change our club name from the Chiltern Branch of the Fly Dressers’ Guild to the Chiltern Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Club which we think reflects a more modern outlook and terminology.

We have a number of excellent fly tyers who demonstrate at shows and events; they also train newcomers in all the techniques necessary to tie successful flies. Members are encouraged to improve their techniques and assistance is always available to help achieve a better understanding of fly tying.

Throughout the season we organise informal fishing days, we have experienced members who are willing to instruct newcomers in the various skills needed to catch fish.
