Fly-tying Class - Saturday



Fly-tying Class
Saturday, March 8th, 2013
Instructor: Aaron Anderson
Fee: $20 includes all supplies While the winter of 2014 has been mild enough to contemplate some days on the river, most cold winters are a good time to restock those flies you lost last summer. Rather than order from Orvis or drive all the way across the Rio Grande valley, why not tie your own? Aaron will guide you through materials selection and use, tools of the trade, and some basic techniques to get you started. We will walk through a pattern or two so you can get a start on stocking your fly box. And we'll explore the aesthetics and philosophy behind the ancient art of making your own flies and lures for fishing. 

To register, please stop on by the shop, call us at (505) 672-2008 or send an email to classes@warmheartsyarn.com. We appreciate 24 hour class registration notice so we are best able to prepare for our students. Thank you!
