CFFA Announces Fly Tying Signup for 2025:

Brief Overview of Courses:

This is a beginner class, and is also suitable for experienced tyers who want to find new techniques and refresh skills. We have added a class to provide for beginners who need to understand Tying Basics, including tools, terminology, techniques and materials.  In the past few years, our classes have filled up quickly, so contact Pete Naples, Education Chairperson as soon as possible.  The fly tying class covers the myriad species of flies, life cycle of insects and how to tie specific patterns and the materials available to craft a fly by hand. Great family activity.
