NAFF Beginners Fly Tying Classes
ASUMH Ozarks Regional Arts Council Conference Room at The Vada Sheid
On Four Thursdays from 6pm - 8pm
Jan. 14th, 21st, 28th and Feb. 4th
The North AR Fly Fishers (NAFF) are again hosting our annual Beginners Fly Tying Class. Once again, ASUMH has accepted our class as part of their Continuing Education program.
This is a class for beginners to teach the basic principles of fly tying. Students will tie two each of two different flies at each class, all of which can be used on our local rivers. All tools and materials are provided by the North Arkansas Fly Fishers. A mentor will be available on a one-to-two or one-to-one basis.
The class will be team-taught by Patty Leuken, Susan Parsons, and Davy Wotton. They as well as our mentors are members of NAFF in good standing and have experience teaching this and other classes. Most importantly, all are active fly fishermen/women with a minimum of twenty years’ experience in the sport, and on our local waters. These are well-seasoned individuals who love the sport with a willingness to share their knowledge and experience. In addition, mentors are on hand to assist the students as they ty the subject fly.
The class will be held on Thursdays in January and February 2027 from 6 to 8 pm, specifically January 14, 21, 28, and February 4, and will be held in the Ozarks Regional Arts Council Conference Room at The Sheid. Class is $27.00 and includes a one-year membership in NAFF.
