He is a professional with Fulling Mill and also a staff member at EAC and he will demonstrate a range of tying techniques.

Callum Lambert, the store’s assistant manager, said: “Whether you are new to tying or looking to refine your patterns, you are welcome to join us for a relaxed and friendly session.”

Refreshments will be provided and Lambert added: “We would encourage anybody to come along, and you can bring your own materials and equipment if you prefer, but vices will be set up in-store for people to use.

”The sessions are free but we have an array of equipment and materials in-store, including fly tying kits, if people wish to buy their own.”

The grayling season is nearly upon us and Rae (pictured) will be showing patterns to attract that species, including nymphs. Dry flies will also be shown as well as lures.

Tables will be set up near the tills in the shop at Unit E, Granton Retail Park, 65 West Harbour Road EH5 1PW and Lambert said: “You can take fly tying as far as you wish, it can grow arms and legs.”
