RRTU ADVANCED CLASS – November through March
The advanced class assumes that tyers have the experience of the most common techniques for tying fly patterns, understands or is familiar with the terminology and have generally followed a good number of fly pattern recipes. The advanced class is designed to review and apply techniques, terminology and proportions while focusing on unique or new methods of fly tying and efficiency. Some of the fly patterns may be recipes from past Beginner classes or Intermediate classes.

Expect some newer or more advanced fly patterns including student requests for future tying sessions as well. Substitutions and alternative methods or techniques are encouraged and exploited in this class.
