A master class for those who want to go beyond the basics. Learn the secrets of a master flytier. Unusual techniques,
unusual patterns. Creative and practical fly tying at its most
exuberant and thought-provoking best. Join others like yourself who want to tie at the top of their ability. Patterns and Techniques for both fresh and salt water flies.

Charlie Meck (Class) $65
PA’s patterns that work anywhere, but are a must on Charlie’s
favorite streams in Pennsylvania. Not only easy to tie, but
deadly when the fish are fussy. Don’t go without them.

Additional Classes: If Saturday’s classes get full, we may add one on Sunday for A.K. Best or any of our other Saturday tying classes. Get on the list if you can’t be scheduled for Saturday, so we can plan ahead.

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.
