Fly Tying Classes
One of the most basic and misunderstood traditions of fly fishing is the art
of tying flies. Numerous fly shops all over the country provide trays and
trays of all the latest patterns leaving the average angler asking himself why
bother with tying my own. There are many answers to this question and probably
one of the most important is the satisfaction one receives when he catches a
fish with a fly he has tied himself. This fact alone will take your fly fishing
passion to a new level of excitement and pleasure. Not to mention that you can
save a good deal of money and create a higher quality fly. We at Foscoe Fishing
Company are offering fly tying classes for fishermen who want to take the next
step in the sport. These classes will include expert instruction and all the
materials and tools you will need to tie during the sessions. We will be focusing
on material characteristics, uses, amounts, and proper applications. The first
sessions will begin with some of the most basic patterns and once these have been
mastered we will move on to more difficult flies. Our instructors tie a great deal
and are well aware of techniques that can be used to offset complications many
beginners encounter.
