South Cumbria Fly Dressers Guild: Meetings

South Cumbria Fly Dressers Guild Branch meetings are held every Wednesday between October and March at 7.30pm.

We are no a frills and friendly group who gather together during the dark months for evenings of tutorials and talks.

We cater for everyone, from beginners through to expert and have some seasoned professionals like Paul Little, Paul Procter and Tony Riley in our guild and many of our senior members are expert in entemology and tying.

An informal approach is taken in tuition, we all muck in together with the more seasoned members assisting and instructing the beginners with a bit of mickey taking thrown in (not at the tiers but between the seasoned members) which makes for a fun evening!
