Join us on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, for an exciting evening of fly tying insights and practical wisdom at the Brodhead Creek Heritage Center in East Stroudsburg, PA. Brodhead Trout Unlimited is thrilled to host Tim “Shorty” Bartholomew—a retired English teacher with a minor fly tying addiction and a passion for keeping the art of fly fishing refreshingly straightforward.
A Fresh Take on Fly Tying
In the world of fly fishing, it’s easy to get caught up in the romance of complex techniques and intricate fly designs. But sometimes, the simplest approach can yield the best results.

He believes that while pushing the boundaries of fly design can be both entertaining and fulfilling, embracing simplicity often serves us best in our quest for the perfect cast.
