CANCELED: Beginner Fly Tying Class
Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m.

THIS CLASS IS CANCELED. 

There is no greater feeling than catching a fish on a fly that you tied! There are thousands of fly patterns that can be tied, but how do you start?

In this introductory course, you will learn how to tie a set of ‘time tested’ flies that will catch fish in both sweet and salt water. All equipment and material will be provided.

The class is limited to five participants. All ages are welcome, but anyone under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Mark Foley, of First Cast Fly Fishing, is a former fly fishing lodge manager from Argentina, a NH licensed fly fishing guide, a certified NH Fish & Game fly fishing instructor, and the Phillips Exeter Academy fly fishing club advisor.
