insert description

In winter and spring months I give personalized fly tying classes at my digs in Winthrop, MA. I have classes for beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience levels. There are classes that focus primarily on fresh water or salt water, and some that offer a mix of the two.

The emphasis is on innovative and imaginative tying techniques and patterns, with a concentration on patterns that I have originated. Suggestions from students are welcome, and some flexibility can be worked into the classes to accommodate individual interests. Always a lot of fun.
