Fly fishing in and around Louisville Kentucky
Our Fly Tying Classes are open to everyone – you do not have to be a member to attend. Generally we tie one fly, but we tie it twice. An instructor demonstrates, step-by-step, how to tie the fly with accompanying video on a big screen TV so students can see each step.
Tools and materials are provided at no cost, but if you have your own tools feel free to bring them.
Beginners are welcome. There will be experienced tiers available to provide individual help.
This Month, Mike Parker will be tying the “Articulated Parker Fly”.
