Fly Tying Classes at The Fly Fishers

SEWTU will be holding three Fly Tying Classes, on January 14, 21, and 28.

These events will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at Pat Ehler’s The Fly Fishers. A link to The Fly Fishers’ web page is here.

These classes will be limited to 10 participants for each class, on a first come, first served basis. The first two classes (on January 14 and 21) will each be introductory in their scope, and will provide instructions to those who are new to tying, and would like to learn fly tying basics. We’ll work on what tools exist, how to use them effectively, how to use basic materials effectively, and how to tie several basic fly patterns. In short, if you’d like to get your feet wet in this noble art, this a great opportunity.

There is NO FEE for these classes. Attendees are asked, to the best of their ability, to bring their vises, tools, and basic materials (dubbing, thread, hooks, hackle, etc.). Some equipment and materials will be available for use as well. In short, there is no reason not to sign up and come on out if you’d like to learn about fly tying.

The final class, on January 28, will feature a presentation by Pat Ehlers himself, concerning new materials, equipment, and techniques, at which time Pat and other members will provide further tying instructions. Attendees from both the January 14 and 21 sessions will be welcome to attend this final meeting.
