Fly Tying

---

Fly of the month is on hold. Please join us for our fly tying meetups. Mote information in next column!

Open Fly Tying & Casting Sessions:  Look for our monthly tying and casting evenings. These are great informal activities to hone your skills and connect with other members. Look for these activities on our calendar of events on the home page.

DFF holds a beginner fly tying class every November.  This class allows members who have little or no familiarity with fly tying to tie their own flies and develop the essential skills to continue this art on your own.  Tim Costello will be your instructor.  Tim has been an expert tier for such events such as the 2023 Yuba Fest and the 2024 ISE Show and taught private classes with other expert tiers.  

Have you done just enough tying to develop a few bad habits? Are you not sure where to go after your intro class? This is the class for you- the flies get a bit smaller and the techniques get more involved but the fun and support are free flowing- Look for the series on our calendar.

Fly Tying Day is December 5, 2026. An entire day devoted to fly tying with breakfast and lunch included. The cost is $35 to secure your spot.
