Fly Tying Classes, Seminars, and Shows
The Complete Dave Whitlock NearNuff School
This class offers a hands-on learning experience that aims to provide participants with both the practical skills and the confidence to succeed in tying and using Dave Whitlock's NearNuff Sculpin and NearNuff Crayfish. I will provide each student with one NearNuff Crayfish and one Nearnuff Sculpin (tied by me) to take home as a reference. Each student will also take home a bottle of brush on Zap-A-Gap and a one year membership to Trout Unlimited - if you are already a member it will extend your membership for one year. Learn More Here

Technique Classes
I specialize in teaching techniques. Fly tying is nothing more than proportions and techniques. Lets me show you how to build wing posts. Then we will practice until everyone in the group is proficient . Then we will learn three more ways to make the wing post and we will become proficient at all of these. Repetition builds understanding and leads one to mastering techniques. Mastering techniques is what these classes are all about. If you would like to learn more about these Call Me Here.
