The Cygnets held their annual fly tying competition today to see who will win the Cygnets fly tying shield. Today Abbi, Morgan and Robert had to tie two flies each of a particular dressing out of the following flies chosen by Jimmy Miller, fly tying instructor.

The Cygnets had to tie either a Cats Whisker, Montana, Mirage Invicta or a Bi Visible

The 3 Cygnets each chose to tie the Cats Whisker and a Montana.

While the other Cygnets were busy tying their flies for the fly tying shield. Jimmy Miller showed a new member of Cygnets how to tie buzzers.

Once the session had concluded Jimmy Miller then marked the flies and the winner "the most consistent cygnet at tying flies" will be presented with the fly tying shield at the meeting prior to the commencement of the fishing sessions. Good luck and well done to each of the Cygnets!!!!!!!!!!!!!
