If you’ve always wanted to take a wet fly lesson with me, this is the next best thing to being on the water! Class is in session next Saturday, Jan 27 at 2pm at the Edison Fly Fishing Show. Instead of sitting on a picnic table bench next to the Farmington River, we’ll gather in a cozy meeting room and learn all about tying and fishing wet flies. This is a a great opportunity to get some quality instruction at the fraction of the cost of a guide trip.

My plan is to offer a combination of video and real-time demos. If the group wants, I’ll demo-tie some wet flies so you can see what goes into building an effective soft-hackle, wingless wet, or winged wet, from construction to materials; demonstrate how to build a traditional three fly team; show you how to prevent that rig from tangling; talk about essential wet fly gear and tackle; and more. Of course, you’re going to want to learn how to present wet flies and catch more fish. Yep, we’re going to cover that, too.

You must sign up for this class in advance. You can only do that on the Fly Fishing Show website, here.
