Beginning Fly Tying at Kiene’s
Instructor: John Daniels

If you are ready to take the next step in your fly fishing career, then it is time to learn how to tie your own flies. Tying flies is easy, relaxing, and a great way to gain access to patterns not generally available in fly shops. By the end of three 3-hour sessions, you will know all the tying techniques necessary to fill your fly boxes. The class will include discussions of materials, tools, wet and dry patterns, and basic aquatic entomology. All materials are supplied by the instructor. Students are required to bring their own tools (see list below).

The class is $75 for three 3-hour sessions, every Wednesday, from 6:00-9:00pm at Kiene’s Fly Shop, beginning April 14th, 2010 (first class meets at 5:30pm) and ending April 28th. Minimum class size is 4 students, and maximum is 6 students. Pre-registration is required.

If interested, email the instructor: john.e.daniels@sbcglobal.net.

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

Note: Students will receive a 10% discount on tools and materials at Kiene’s Fly Shop purchased during this course, courtesy of Bill Kiene.

We have been doing some one night classes on specific patterns.

Andy Guibord recently did a one night class on his version of the adult Skwala stone.

He will probably doing a one night class on some of his best Striper patterns soon.

We probably should do a one night class on popular local Shad flies.

What particular patterns would anyone like to learn?

Besides our staff we have dozens of top fly tiers locally we can call on to teach these classes.

Classes have been 6-9pm limited to 5 students for $20
