Jack McNeary always attends Appletree and began suggesting that we need a Chapter sponsored fly tying class for those that are interested in learning to tie flies as well as those that already tie flies but would like to improve their skills. He was not hesitant to begin these classes and he has successfullly lead many beginners to the art and science of fly tying.
