2019 Fly Tying
2019 Fly Tying Sessions
Although this is not a fly tying class, this is a great way to improve your tying skills and accumulate lots of flies. From January through February, CCFF members get together to tie a "fly of the week" in preparation for nicer weather. Sessions run every Thursday night from January 3 - February 28 at the community room located in the strip mall across from Hy-Vee and next door to Concord Baptist Church. At the tying sessions, more experienced tyers demonstrate how to tie the fly of the week and assist novice tyers with hints and suggestions.
This year there will be two sessions. The first session will begin at 4:30 pm and the second session will start at 6:00pm. Please park in the church parking lot to reserve spots for patrons of the restaurants located in the strip mall.
Please note: a beginner’s session takes place separately at the same time as the other sessions.
