Fly-Tying Classes

There are many fly-fishermen who enjoy tying their own flies. It is rewarding and is considered by many a form of art. It looks difficult and many who would like to learn are often too intimidated to give it a try. The Green Drake offers fly tying classes that teach the basic necessities to provide each student with the knowledge to tie many popular patterns and create new ones as well. Our classes are geared toward the student by keeping the class small so that personal attention is given as often as needed.
