Fly Tying 101
Fly Tying 101
This class will prepare the student with hands on experience and an overall understanding of the world of Fly Tying. There is no greater exhilarating experience than catching a beautiful trout on a fly that you tied yourself. As a part of your tuition you will be provided with fly tying kit that you will keep to enjoy a lifetime of satisfaction in the fun fly tying community. You will learn to tie from basic flies to some of the most beautiful flies that will all produce wonderful years of trout fishing. The book we will use is written by Skip Morris titled “FLY TYING MADE CLEAR AND SIMPLE”. The book will be provided by HCC which will have to be returned at the end of the class but you will be encouraged to secure your own copy for future reference. Each class will include a discussion of why we use the fly we are tying and history of the name of the fly. Instructor: Tommy Thomas
