This is my third time taking fly tying lessons with Chris over many years. I learn something new in every session. I find the time spent very enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this course to everyone.
I went along for yesterday's lesson & was amazed at what was included in these lessons with @driftoutfittersandflyshop & cannot recommend them enough to anyone who has any interest in fly fishing.
There were 6 of us in attendance & we were all supplied with tools & materials to tie three flies each under expert instructions from Chris. He was clear, concise & patient while guiding us through the techniques & terminology, answering any questions we had about fishing in general. 2 hours tuition & 3 flies for $20 each?!?!?!? - an absolute bargain IMO & I will be signing up for more lessons for sure.
