Turle KnotA few weeks back we tied some #2 flies where each student picked a pattern of their choice to be put in this year's shadow box. Now we will take a break from fly tying and we have started some fly fishing activities. This past Wednesday we worked on both the blood knot and turle knot. Check out the following videos to practice them...

'Man at the Mouth' - Blackville Fly Tiers Interview George Routledge
We decided to borrow this video link from the Blackville Middle School Fly Fishing Club. Check out the awesome interview with George Routledge of George's Fly Shop in Renous. George is a strong supporter of the MVHS Fly Fishing Club. George has been quite sick lately so let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
