John Daniels is heavily involved teaching fly tying at the 'California Fly Fishers Unlimited' fly fishing club in Sacramento and the 'Fly Fishers of Davis' fly fishing club in Davis, CA.

We coerced him to do some classes for us at the shop in the winter too.

***Anyone taking these classes will get a 10% discount on tools, DVDs, books and materials for the classes.

Beginning Fly Tying Class

Learning to tie flies is both fun and easy. You will complete your first fly by the end of the first session, and with each subsequent class, your skills will develop further. By the end of the course, you will be well on your way to mastering the basics of fly tying.

The class will include discussions of materials, tools, and patterns. A total five fly patterns will be covered, nymphs and dries. Attendees must bring their own tools (see list below) and thread, but all other materials will be provided by the instructor. Each class has 4 sessions and is limited to a maximum of six students.

Cost: $75 for 4 nights

Required tools list:

fly tying vise
bobbin
scissors
half-hitch tool and/or whip finisher
hair stacker
hackle pliers
6/0 black thread

Class dates:


Wednesdays, February 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th, 2010

Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm

**First class starts at 5:30pm

Yes, HS, it is a good value.

We are just trying to get more fly fishers addicted to fly tying.
