12 weeks of fly tying for beginners, intermediates

The Evergreen Fly Fishing Club based in Everett is also offering a series of fly tying classes this winter.

This class lasts for 12 weeks and includes a lesson on how to tie flies that club members have found to be very successful.

It’s open to both members and nonmembers.

The class will teach intermediate-level skills, but novice tiers are welcome. The nonmember fee is $60.

Each week, participants will be taught a proven fly pattern that works in the Pacific Northwest.
