BEGINNING FLY TYING CLASS:  October 26, November 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, December 7, 2022
This seven week course will get you well on your way to a satisfying lifetime creating flies that will catch fish! You'll begin by learning basic techniques that you'll use to tie simple flies. Week by week you'll acquire more advanced skills and apply them to create more complex flies.
You'll be guided by an experienced fly tier who will be your coach throughout the course. We will lend you a vise, a lamp and all the tools required for the course. Your cost for the course is $80 which is partial payment for your materials, the course manual and accompanying DVD. SPFF pays the balance of the cost. Payment for the course is required at the October 26 class, either by cash or a check payable to SPFF Foundation.
Unless you are absolutely sure about the vise and tools you intend to purchase, we strongly encourage you to WAIT and use our loaners. The instructors will have a variety of vises & tools and you'll be able to get some valuable advice as to what you may want to buy.
In addition to this course, we meet most Wednesdays throughout the year to learn how to tie a fly that's taught by one of our group or a talented guest tier. Many of our "graduates" join us for these sessions and then go on to become future instructors.
Because each class will require you to use skills that you learned at the previous classes, it's very important that you attend ALL the classes. And yes, there will be homework!

This class is limited to a maximum of 10 students. In the event fewer than 5 students register, the class will be cancelled & rescheduled.

PLEASE NOTE: Our fly tying venue is a conference room at a medical facility. You should be fully vaccinated and boosted for Covid-19.
