This is an introduction on teaching tweens and teens the art and science of FLY TYING. The class focuses on the fundamentals of how to create an “artificial lure”, commonly called a fly, which represents an imitation of what a fish would eat in nature. We will talk about the tools, materials, supplies, and techniques needed to create a fly. Furthermore, we will discuss basic entomology (bug identification) and how it will relate to the flies you will actually tie. All participants will leave with a fly that they have tied that can be used on the river or lake.

Class size is limited to six (6). Ages 10 and up. All equipment and materials will be provided. 

REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
