We offer fly tying classes several times a year. If you don't see a class on the schedule but would like to learn to tie flies get in touch with us and we'll get your name on the list so you will be notified when we schedule the next class.
- Flies and Lies - 1st Wednesday of every month
Come hang out, tie some flies and tell some lies. Bring your tools and materials and tie whatever you want. We hold Flies and Lies here at the shop on the first Wednesday of each month. We get started around 6PM and are usually here until around 8:30PM.
Flies and Lies is a chance to hang out with other fly tyers and to share patterns and stories. While we all learn from each other this is not a class environment. We do, however, regularly have people who don't tie come hang out. So, no matter what your skill level, feel free to stop by for a few minutes or a couple hours.
