Fly fishing anglers have developed a keen sense of how to read the streams and how to "match the hatch". A skill that is handy for any angler to know is how to tie your own flies.
Participants will learn:
- Different styles and types of flies
- Equipment needed to tie flies
- How to create flies to take home
This is a beginner course and all materials will be provided. Bring a small container or envelope to bring your flies home in. They are small and have a sharp hook!
