It's almost that time of year again: fly-tying class season! Many clubs in the area offer classes but I'm a bit biased being a member of the Evergreen Fly Fishing Club.
Starting in January the EFFC will be presenting our annual 12-week fly-tying class. We begin with the basics and work up to intermediate skills in fly tying. Each week you will be taught a proven fly pattern that works in the Pacific Northwest. You will also get tips on fly presentation, including how and when to use the fly, from twelve experienced fly tiers and fly fishers.
If you're new to tying the instructors and other seasoned tiers are happy to sit alongside you and guide you through each pattern. Tying materials and hooks needed to tie 2 or 3 flies each week will be provided, along with written instructions for each fly.
You will need to bring your own fly-tying vise and tools (bobbin, thread, scissors, etc). We will email you a list of necessary items prior to the first class. And don't worry if you don't know what you need to get started--we'll help you out and the club will have a few vises and tool sets that can be loaned out.
If our location or schedule doesn't work for you certainly check for the club closest to you and they'll likely have classes this winter as well.
