Fly-Tying 101 Class 2021

Hello Everyone,

Once again we have the plesure to present to you Fly Tying 101 with Joel Evans. 

What is Fly Tying?

Fly tying is the process of producing an artificial fly used by fly fishing anglers to catch fish. It has been said it is simple process of binding various materials to a hook with thread.

Whether you are being creative and designing your own flies or tying a pattern that has been created by someone else fly tying is a great hobby, and a great activity to do in the off season when you can’t get outside or the fish aren’t biting.
