Individual / Small Group Fly Tying Instruction

Our Fly Tying Individual / Small Group Class is intended to be customized to your specific needs.  Whether you have never held a bobbin, or have tied hundreds of your own flies, we are here to help you achieve your fly tying goals. We are prepared to cover beginner to intermediate patterns, techniques, and material handling skills.  The goal is to give you the confidence and skills necessary to whip up a few dozen flies that you will actually fish!  Reach out to Jack at jack@blackfootriver.com, or 406 542 7411, to schedule your class.  Please let us know how we can best tailor the class to your needs.   Classes are 2 hours long.  All materials and tools will be provided.  You are welcome to bring your own vise and tools if you have them.   Our fly tying instructor, Jack Brown, has been tying flies since he was 12 years old.  Growing up spin-fishing for bass and panfish in Minnesota and Wisconsin, when Jack found fly fishing, he was immediately captivated by this new form of angling.  Soon he was catching fish using his own flies rather than a Buzz Lightyear pole and meal worms.  The rest is history.  His approach to fly tying is centered around a less-is-more mentality.  Flies are meant to be fished and sometimes lost, so quick and easy ties are the focus.  With that being said, fly tying should be fun and creative! Jack works full time at Blackfoot River Outfitters as our Assistant Manager.  He can be reached at jack@blackfootriver.com with any questions. Full payment is due at the time of purchase and is nonrefundable (can only be redeemed for a later class or store credit).
