Even though it’s still cold and wintry outside, it’s not too early to think about fishing season!
On Thursday, January 30 at 6:30 PM, the Waterbury Public Library will host an Introduction to Fly Tying workshop led by Bill Whitehair and John Wolfe, who collectively have over 20 years of fly tying experience. The class will focus on tying streamer flies for trout fishing, as well as some classic flys that are guaranteed to help you catch the big one. In addition to being downright effective, these flies are cheap and easy to tie. As a bonus, they can be fished with traditional spinning tackle if you don’t have a fly rod.
We will have a small selection of tools to share, and plenty of tying materials will be provided. If participants have any of their own tools – vise, bobbin, scissors - please bring them along as well.
Future Fly Tying workshops will be held at 6:30 PM on Thursday, February 27, and Thursday, March 27.
The workshops are free and are geared for ages 12 through adult. You can sign up for one, or all three. Class size is very limited, so please call the Library at 244-7036 to register in advance .
