Tyer's Table with William Cernitz

Will Cernitz got his first fly rod at the age of seven, having come from a background in traditional gear fishing. It would take a few years for him to develop the knowledge and understanding it takes to succeed with the fly rod. Still, he mastered the skill over time and soon began tying flies for his own use, watching videos and demonstrations.

His first visit to the Tyer’s Table was precisely one year ago this weekend. While a newcomer to our little gathering, Will was readily accepted by our group of regulars and proceeded to impress everyone with his trout streamers and deer hair bugs.

Since his last visit to the Tyer's Table, Will has been doing quite a bit of fishing and fly tying, fishing the Deschutes several times in the spring, exploring the middle section for the first time, and then chasing Bass and Trout over the summer.

When Summer came to a close, Will started to fish for Steelhead on the Deschutes and the Clackamas rivers, and now he’s focusing on the winter run Steelhead closer to home. This weekend at the Tyer’s Table, Will plans to tie some of his favorite winter Steelhead patterns.

Join the fun from 10:30 to 1:00 this Saturday, January 20th.
