From dubbing to hackles, our entry level class will give you a solid foundation for this wonderful art. One of our resident professional tyers will take you step-by-step through the basics of this rewarding art.

Each student will be provided with enough materials for class and home practice. Tools will be supplied at class.

INTERMEDIATE FLY TYING CLASSES

The lessons of the Intermediate Classes will focus on tying the fishable life cycles of the mayflies, caddis, stoneflies and midges.

This intermediate level class will expand upon your skills and knowledge to allow you to better represent the hatch.

As for the introductory classes, one of our resident professional tyers will take you step-by-step through the tying of various patterns for the various stages of insect development (nymph, larva, pupa, emerger, dun, spinner).
