Note: Most classes require some tying experience and others may require more. Ask us when you call. Beginners are welcome, but be prepared for more than basics. All students must bring their own tying vise, tools, lamp if needed, and a sampling of materials. Most classes will provide adequate materials for the patterns being taught. The classes will be held in the Doubletree Hotel. If a class is cancelled, you will be notified 5 days prior to the weekend and either permitted to switch or receive an authorized refund.


FFF Youth Class


The Federation of Fly Fishers will be instructing this introductory class for all youngsters wanting to learn more about fly fishing and fly tying. It will also help those scouts that need this instruction to earn their fly fishing merit badge. If you’re a scout or not, this is a great class to be taking and it’s all free. Let’s bring the youngsters to the symposium and bring a life that involves fly fishing. It all starts here. Please call to register. Last minute openings taken at the show, if available. See class details in brochure for registering info.
