On two Saturdays in February I will be teaching an Intro to Fly Tying Class. To be honest I’m not sure that I can teach. Sure I have given pointers to people at open tying nights and I have got a couple of friends and family started in their pursuit of fly tying. The question is can I teach a total newbie to tie? Will I be able to get my point across. Will I be able to hold their attention for the length of the class? Well, a preformed a bit of an experiment. I ask my wife Marylynn to allow me to teach her to tie a fly. She really had no interest, so I thought this would be a good test. We sat down and tied a Woolly Bugger. She picked up on it quite well even after getting over the hurdle of her being left-handed. We tied two flies. They did not come out bad at all. Well, this proved to me that I can teach. Thanks, Hon!
