Have you ever thought about learning to tie trout flies and taking to the river with a fly rod? MakerSphere has a great introductory course to offer this spring.
Join Bill Whitehair and John Wolfe for three evenings of fly tying lessons at the Waterbury Center MakerSphere workshop followed by a fly fishing lesson in the Lower Pond at the Waterbury Stowe Fish and Game Club where you can learn to cast your own flies to Vermont's favorite fish, the brook trout. Bill and John have been teaching together for several years. Bill's style is to wrap just enough material on a hook to catch a trout and tie just enough to support his fishing habits. A peek into John's fly box is going to reveal the work of a true craftsman with a passion for tying crisp and elegant flies. We'll start out tying the classic wooly bugger – a fly any fish in the world would eat. From there we can explore styles based on the interests of the class.
The class is Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8 starting May 12th at the MakerSphere Art Center and culminating on June 2nd at the Waterbury/Stowe Fish and Game Club to learn how your flies can be used to catch some great fish. Bring what you have but know that Bill has a few rod set-ups to lend out.
The class will be held indoors at MakerSphere with enough room for social distancing. All your tools and materials are part of the course cost of $75.
