 FlyMasters Beginning
Fly Tying class is a four week course that meets Tuesday
evenings and Saturday Mornings. You can choose to attend the
Tuesday evening classes or the Saturday Morning classes.
They are the same classes just different days to accommodate
busy schedules.
The entire course is only $50.00 and all materials and tools
are provided. The main focus of this course is
to develop good hands-on techniques
as well as emphasis on proper fly proportions and aesthetics. Upon completion of the
course the student should have the ability to tie about 80%
of the basic patterns shown in most fly-tying books and
magazines.
Flies selected for the course include trout flies, warmwater
flies, steelhead, salmon and possibly saltwater flies.
In the first class, students will tie a rubber spider and a
woolly bugger. There is a wide range of flies that can be
tied by beginners and the exact flies we tie will be
determined by the interests of the class. Students
will tie two different flies in each session and will tie
two of each fly to help re-enforce the steps and techniques
of the flies they tie. The skills learned in tying
the flies in this course will apply to all other flies any tier might
wish to tie. Classes are a combination of information and instructions
concerning tying materials, tool and techniques as well as
step-by-step instruction for the flies tied in class.
