Learn to Tie Flies
Cost $100 per student for 2 hours / $100 for each additional student
Tying flies is one of the most rewarding aspects of fly fishing besides catching fish of course. Catching a fish on one of your own creations makes the experience doubly sweet! Here at the Blue Ridge Fly Fishing School, we tie almost all our own flies that we use on the water every day. Certain patterns produce fish consistently for us. These pattern are quick and easy to learn to tie for beginners. Our structured class takes you through different skills methodically building skills for the next pattern. Fly tying is centuries old and can lead you into a wonderful place of art and utility. Nothing is better on a cold evening curled up at the fly tying desk spinning up a few bugs!
