Beginner Fly Tying Classes – January 7, 14, 21 & 28

We normally hold our tying classes in the winter, and we're excited to kick off the season with a four-week Beginner Fly Tying class at Ed’s Fly Shop. Classes will meet on Wednesday nights from 6–8 PM, taught by Bill Frangos.

Our Beginner Fly Tying class is perfect for anyone looking to start tying their own flies. Bill will walk you through tying nymphs, dry flies, and streamers while introducing you to the essential tools and materials used in the process. No experience is necessary, and by the end of the course you’ll have the confidence and skills to tie a variety of fundamental fly patterns.

What’s included:

  • All materials, vises, and tools (you’re welcome to bring your own if preferred)
  • Instruction on several fly patterns each session
  • A focus on trout-specific patterns to help build core techniques
  • Guidance on setting up your tying space
  • Hands-on practice in proportioning, material handling, and tying workflow
  • Tips and tricks to make tying easier and more enjoyable

You’ll leave the class with a solid foundation to continue expanding your tying skills.
