PRIVATE CLASSES FOR FLY TYING OR SINGLE HAND CASTING (call me for Spey casting class recommendations).

Private classes are THE best way to shorten the learning curve for any skill and especially for fly tying and fly casting. I teach both with all tools, equipment and materials for fly tying and casting provided. I have over 40 years of teaching experience. You may use your own equipment and gear, of course, if you prefer. I also can provide you with gear and equipment purchases you want to make, or if I can’t get them for you, I will recommend where to get them from local experts in fly fishing.
