Fly tying, fly casting classes
Published 11:33 am Tuesday, December 6, 2011
The Seattle-based Washington Fly Fishing Club is conducting some fly tying and fly casting classes this winter.
I know a lot of people don’t think about fly fishing until spring, but this time of year is great for making sure your equipment is in top shape, tying some flies or honing your casting skills.
The tying class is for beginners and the casting classes cover beginners and more advanced casters.
