Chapter Art of Fly Tying

"The Art of Fly Tying" enhances the enjoyment of fly fishing but can be very intimidating. Catching a fish on a fly that you tied yourself is exciting and very satisfying.

This course of basic fly tying techniques will ease you into this creative art giving you the fundamentals used to tie all types of flies.

The course will convene at The Watershed Institute Lab on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Oct 2 - Oct 30

There is no fee for the course, the Instructors and materials are provided by Ernest Schwiebert Chapter of Trout Unlimited. If you have your own tying tools, we encourage you to bring them. We will supply tying equipment for those who need it.

The Fall Session Fly Tying Class will focus primarily on tying flies with foam and other synthetic materials.

In the five classes starting on October 2nd and ending on October 30th we will discuss methods, materials, and tie flies such as:

Ants

Beetles

Hoppers

Crickets

Foam Caddis

Gurglers

Morrish Mouse

All of these foam flies are easy to tie and very effective. Beginners will be able to tie these flies easily.
