Full-Day Fly Tying Classes

I have always enjoyed teaching people how to tie flies. I now offer three classes for fly shops and clubs and private groups. I have been doing my Small Tuna class for several years and it has proved to be quite popular. The Striper Flats Flies class is newer but the response has been favorable. The Big Bass Class was new for '06 and features some grande bugs that are sure to please the grande stripers. I plan to have a new "Pop-Fleyes - The Flies of Bob Popovics" class ready for winter '08 any day now - check back for details or join my mailing list to be notified.

All classes are full-day (10AM - 4PM), sometimes with a short slide show at lunch time that discusses tactics, equipment and spots. I provide all the necessary materials and a detailed syllabus but students should have their own vise and tools. Students should also have prior tying experience.

Contact info for each shop is listed below.
