Beginner Fly Tying Class: This class will cover 8 different fly patterns that are used though out the fishing season. In class we will go over what tools are needed, the materials, how to tie the fly and what we are trying to imitate. Tools and materials will be supplied in the classroom. A Digital Beginner Fly Tying Manual is included in the class (to be printed at your home). The use of Videos, Step by Step manual and hands on instruction will be used for this class, because each person learns differently. The flies taught in this class are not only good to teach beginners but are proven fish catchers

The Intermediate Fly Tying Class is a continuation of the Beginner Fly Tying classes. In this class, we will develop more fly tying techniques and tie flies that will catch fish that are more selective. In some classes, we will tie two flies with different variations of how the fly is tied.
We will cover the following flies: Sparkle Dun, Compara Dun, Klinkhammer, Parachute Fly, Sulphur Cut Wing Mayfly, Pheasant Tail Emerger, Moose Mane Emerger, Extended Body Bullet Head Hopper, and Muddler Minnow.
That is 9 flies with different materials and fly tying techniques in a 6-week course.
Students should have basic fly tying knowledge for this class, and will have to supply their own tools and materials (from a material list provided)
