Beginner Fly Tying Workshop

Registration is required. This workshop is intended for adults and teens. Join FlyCurious for a fun, beginner-friendly fly tying workshop. Learn what our native fish eat and how anglers imitate them with hand-tied flies. This workshop will cover the essential tools, proportions, and techniques to craft your own effective fishing flies. FlyCurious Fishing is where a passion for fly fishing and our aquatic and riparian ecosystems meets a purpose for creating community.

Whether you're tying your first fly or mastering the perfect cast, they are ready to guide you every step of the way. Through inclusive instruction and a commitment to cold water conservation, they aim to bridge the knowledge gap, break down barriers, and create a space where everyone feels represented and celebrated. FlyCurious is committed to fostering meaningful connections, advocating for greater LGBTQ+ representation in the outdoors, and protecting the waters that inspire them.
