ESCTU is sponsoring a series of six fly-tying classes at the
The Watershed Institute during January and February
Although it can be intimidating to tie your own flies (it really isn't), catching a fish on a fly that you tied yourself is exciting and very satisfying.
This course will introduce you to various types of flies, tying materials and the methods used to tie them. It is a hands-on class with detailed one-on-one tying support.
The Introduction Class is free; the remaining classes will cost $5 for each session.
ESCTU will provide the instructors and materials.
We encourage you to bring your own vise and tools, but we also have tying equipment for those who don't.
Seats are limited, so register a.s.a.p.
These classes will be held at The Watershed Institute on
Tuesday’s 7 to 9 pm
Beginning Tuesday, January 13, 2025
Ending, Tuesday, February 17, 2025
31 Titus Mill Rd, Pennington, NJ 08534.
