2022 Meet Up #4 - Jason Taylor

We’re willing to bet that if you’re a fly-tyer who spends any time on Instagram, you’ve followed @flyonby and liked the photos of his elegant imitations of saltwater baitfish. On March 6, 2022, fly-tying guru Jason Taylor joined Masters of the Fly for a discussion of his philosophy and approach to fly-tying, and a demonstration of three easy-to-tie, elegant, and highly-effective baitfish patters: his take on the Hollow Fly, his Cheater Deceiver, and his Four-Feather Fly.
Event and Q&A discussion moderated by David Blinken and Luyen Chou.
Feel free to tie along with Jason on your own vise at home during this as you watch. Here's a list of the materials used:
Bucktail
Squimpish fibers
Strung saddle feathers
Schlappen
Marabou
Chocklett’s filler flash or other dense fibered flash chenille
Coq de Leon saddle hackle or large dry fly hackle
