An true introductory level class aimed at rank beginners with little to no fly tying skill or experience, this course will touch on all the basics. With discussion about dry flies, wet flies, nymphs and streamers; we'll learn how tie a representative fly in each of these categories, and talk about how to fish them too! Along the way we'll discuss tools, materials, techniques, and more.
GOAL: At the end of this class, participants will leave with a basic knowledge of the mechanics of fly tying.

We'll provide all the materials necessary for the session. Already have a vise and some tools of your own? Feel free to bring them along. If not, we'll provide them for you.

About The Instructors
Larry Antonuk began his fly tying journey in northern Wisconsin, tying jigs to support his father's walleye fishing habit. Since then he's studied with dozens of notable fly tyers, both at home and abroad. While living in Nottingham, England for three years he was an active member of the Fly Dresser's Guild. On his return to the states in 2003 he re-launched the Monadnock TU Chapter and began taking all the available weekend seminars held at Hunter's Angling in New Boston. In 2006 he was awarded a Traditional Arts Apprenticeship by the NH Council on the Arts, studying for a year with a Master artist in Concord. Five years later he received his Master Artist designation after taking on an apprentice of his own. Currently Larry focuses on tying traditional salmon flies for display in frames and domes. A juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen, he has demonstrated fly tying at the annual Sunapee Craft Fair for the last 15 years. He also teaches fly tying each winter in the Monadnock Region, both in Keene and Peterborough.
