Learn How to Tie Your Own Flies!
In this 2-hour introductory class, we’ll walk you through the fundamentals of fly tying in a relaxed, hands-on setting. You’ll learn how to use essential fly-tying tools, work with common materials, and tie a complete fly pattern step by step.
This class is designed for complete beginners, anglers who need a refresher, or anyone interested in learning a new fly pattern. No previous fly-tying or fly-fishing experience is required.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify and safely use essential fly-tying tools
- Secure a hook properly in a fly-tying vise
- Start, control, and finish tying thread
- Select and attach common fly-tying materials
- Follow a fly pattern step by step
- Understand basic fly proportions and material placement
- Use finishing techniques to create a durable, fishable fly
- Tie San Juan worms, Woolly Buggers, and Hares Ear Nymph
Your instructor will demonstrate each step of the tying process before you try it at your own vise. You’ll receive hands-on guidance throughout the class and have time to practice each technique as you build your fly.
By the end of the class, you’ll understand the basic fly-tying process and feel comfortable tying on your own. You’ll also take your finished flies home with you so they’re ready for your next fishing trip.
All fly-tying equipment and materials are provided. The class is limited to 12 participants so instructors can provide individualized help.
All ages are welcome. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
$75/person due at the time of booking. Your first beverage is on us! Additional beverages may be purchased separately from the host brewery or winery.
