2020 INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED tying class for Trout Flies. THURSDAY Nights - January 9, 16, 23, 30, February 4.(All Classes are at the San Diego Mission Bay Boat and Ski Club $30 total for all 5)


This class will move along at a somewhat accelerated rate. Therefore, all tyers considering this class should have some familiarity with general tying skills (whip finishing/half hitching, pinch wrap, use of dubbing, etc.), and have their own vise and tools. If these terms seem like Greek to you, please register for the Newcomer's Class - you will have a much more enjoyable experience in that class, and you will have more personalized instruction. Now, back to the Intermediate/Advanced Class.

Class is limited to the first 12 people who sign up via the website. We will be tying 2 flies each night. We will cover a range of materials, techniques, and fly styles. Patterns relevant to our trip to Bishop will be emphasized. Flies for this class will include:

  • Partridge & Orange
  • Gammarus Scud
  • Frenchie
  • Perdigon
  • Matuka
  • Black Ghost
  • BWO (Upright Wing)
  • Adams (Parachute)
  • Stimulator
  • Humpy
Your cost for this course will be $30.00/person (payable in cash to Chuck on the first night of class). This cost is to cover the materials used in the class. Practice materials are not provided for this course, but I will include a materials list and Google calendar invitations to those people who successfully register for the class. Note that I will be encouraging you to do "homework", as it will immediately improve your tying skills tying skills (but I won't kick you out of the class if you don't do any, LOL).
