Tyer's Table with John Newbury
11 Dec 2024
John Newbury is passionate about creating the perfect trout fly, a passion he has had his whole life. He studied fisheries biology and river ecology in school and worked as a fisheries field biologist, where he gained deep knowledge about what makes a functional trout habitat. John's obsession led him to Colorado, where he lived on the banks of a Gold Medal trout stream, allowing him to test his numerous ideas. Fishing almost daily, John developed and refined various fly patterns to his satisfaction. As a result of the years he spent at work at the tying bench, many of his patterns are now found in the Fulling Mill catalog and shop bins.
When John is not obsessing over the perfect trout fly, he can be found in the kitchen whipping up healthy recipes or noodling in his music room or painting studio. John now divides his time between the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado Rockies and is currently in Oregon, re-acquainting himself with our maritime climate and high desert trout streams.
We are excited to welcome John back to the Tyer's Table on Saturday, January 11th, from 10:30 to 1:00. This session was scheduled during the Christmas holiday, but John fell victim to a severe migraine so we needed to reschedule. We are happy to say that John is 100% and looking forward to this weekend‘s event. We’ll see you here!
