Fly Tying 101

Are you interested in learning to tie flies or maybe want to freshen up some basic skills that you haven’t worked with in quite a while? Our Fly Tying 101 class is a great way to step into the fun pursuit of tying your own flies.

This 90 minute introductory class will expose you the basics of fly tying and help give you a good foundation to build upon. Each student will have a completely stocked workstation to learn from. The workstation will include vise, tools and materials. Our instructor will discuss what you use, when and how. Our intention at the end of the class is for each student to understand the tools to use to tie a simple trout fly used in our area.

We require a $50 deposit to hold your spot for the event and that $25 will be given back to you as a gift certificate that can be used for in-store purchases or your next lesson fee. 

These classes are limited to 6 students and will fill up quickly. Please check your schedule and sign up early.
