Course Overview

This course is designed to teach fly fishers how to tie a core group of flies that will enable them to catch more fish anywhere in the US and Canada. The flies have been field tested by the instructor through over fifty years of fly fishing on streams and lakes, not only in northern Minnesota but also on many of the well-known streams in the West, East and the “Driftless Area”. Each student will tie and take home more than a dozen flies. Those who are able to master the flies scheduled for the course will receive instruction on tying more advanced patterns, or even coming up with new creations. Each student will receive a kit containing fly tying materials to tie a great variety of flies. A limited supply of fly tying tools is available for use by those students who do not own tools upon request. Students may bring their own tools or purchase a complete set through North House for an additional cost of $55.00 which must be ordered and paid for at time of registration.

Note: The materials fee for this class is due at time of registration and is not refundable.
