NDOW sponsors progressive fly-tying class

If you always wanted to learn how to make your own flies or learn how to "match the hatch" the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) will teach you the basics in a free class. The fly-tying class will be held over three evenings, May 5, 6 and 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night. The class will start with a basic fly and progressively work up to a more advanced fly by the third class and is designed for beginning to intermediate level fly tiers. Class is limited to the first 15 persons who sign-up.

WHEN Tuesday, May 5

Wednesday, May 6

Thursday, May 7

The class will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night. We suggest timely attendance at all three classes as each class relies on the previous one due to increasing difficulty.
