Back by popular demand beginning in November. Don't forget to mark your calendar for RRTU's fly tying classes. This is the NINTH year having classes and we plan to present new fly patterns which will not only be useful on our delayed harvest and wild streams but will also be useful on tailraces and freshwater streams.  Look for more information on our guest tiers in the newsletter. We will also invite other interested FFF and RRTU members to join us for this session.
We have three instructional tiers who can assist. We have rotary vices for six beginners and provide materials for the beginners. The charge for the entire series of classes is $10. Research shows this price to be a bargain when compared to similar classes which may run up to $125 per person.
Even if you do not think you want to tie all your own flies, you might surprise yourself. One of our 2011-12 beginning tiers said he just wanted to see how it was done. Then he found that some of his best fishing success the following year was with the flies he had tied himself. You will find that you can tie flies that are more durable than those you can buy, and you can tie some go-to flies that are not available in any fly shop or online.

If you are a beginner and do not have your own fly tying equipment, please let us know you plan to attend so that we can make sure we have enough equipment. For more information please contact Jack McNeary  jmcneary@gmail.com. We have had a good turnout each year and expect the same for this next round.
