                Wednesday Nights – May 11, 18, 25, June 1
     ($30 total for all 4 classes)

Registration will open 5/6/2022 at 7 PM.

This class will move along at a somewhat accelerated rate. Therefore, all tyers considering this class should have some familiarity with general tying skills whip finishing/half hitching, pinch wrap, use of dubbing, etc.), and have their own vise, and tools

*** ALL MATERIALS TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE CLUB AS PART OF YOUR FEE ***

Class is limited to the first 8 people who sign up via the website.   

To register: Log into the Golden State Flycaster's website and click on the Event Calendar.  Find the first class on May 11th and click on it.  This will take you to the "register now" button.

Your cost for this course will be $30.00/person (payable at the time of registration via the website).

Again, we WILL BE supplying materials for this class. We will also provide a pattern list with recipes prior to the first class. 

We will be tying 2 flies each night. We will cover a range of materials, techniques, and fly styles. Flies we will tie in this class and recipes will be sent to you prior to the first class.

Time permitting,  Dave will take a request at the end of each class to tie a pattern you want to learn, are having trouble with, or requires a technique you are interested in. 

Note that Dave will be encouraging you to do "homework", as it will immediately improve your tying skills.
