INTERMEDIATE SALTWATER FLY TYING CLASS - UV RESIN (EPOXY) BAITFISH FLIES
with Joe Calcaveccia
Saturday - December 7th, 2024 - 11:00am to 4:00pm
OVERVIEW: Join us as we host renowned local fly tier Joe Calcaveccia from Saltwater Custom Flies as he leads, demonstrates, and instructs how to craft epoxy surf candy style baitfish patterns using modern UV curing resins like Solarez. While these patterns have proven particularly deadly along the northeast seacoast for Striped Bass, Bluefish, False Albacore and Bonito; the techniques learned in this class are directly applicable to freshwater fly tying as well.
GOAL: At the end of this class, participants should be able to identify the materials required, and perform the sequential steps necessary to tie a variety of epoxy style surf candy baitfish imitations using UV curing resin systems.
PREREQUISITES: Some basic fly-tying experience and skill is required. Please bring your personal vice and tools if desired, though a vice and tools can be provided with advance notice. All materials required to tie the flies hosted in class will be furnished.
CLASS SIZE: 10 MAX
