Our Doc Fritchey chapter will once again offer both Beginner and Intermediate fly tying classes to the public. If you haven’t learned to tie flies (a skill that will last a lifetime), this is the perfect opportunity, as both courses are taught by seasoned tiers and assisted by a host of chapter members who are at your elbow helping out.
The Beginner course is just that, intended to get the newcomer started by learning skills that can be utilized long after the course is completed. For the Intermediate course, we change the patterns that are introduced each year, so that we often have repeat students who can learn new techniques and become more creative in their already known basic tying skill set.
The cost for each course is VERY REASONABLE ($50 total) and the materials that are used each night of the class are included. Follow-up emails (often with videos) are sent out after each class. All students have ease of communication with the instructors during the week, and the feedback from past courses has been terrific!
We also offer for sale a very nice set of fly-tying tools at a handsome price ($70 to any student who would like to purchase a set).
