Whether you’re brand new to the vise or looking to sharpen your skills, this monthly fly-tying class is designed to be hands-on, relaxed, and fun. Each session focuses on a specific technique and pattern, with step-by-step instruction you can immediately put to use on the water. We’ll cover everything from foundational skills to advanced tricks, with plenty of time for questions and one-on-one help. Bring your vise and tools, show up ready to tie, and leave with new flies, new confidence, and a few new tricks in your kit. RSVP not required, but it helps us know how many participants to expect.
