Learn to Tie Trout Flies for the Farmington River & other streams and with guide Mark Roy Swenson.
Mark has been teaching fly fishing and fly tying for over 40 years. Fooling wary Farmington River trout is more satisfying and rewarding if you learn to tie the flies yourself, plus you can tie your own special weights and variations that are not commercially available. This one day beginner class covers dry flies, emergers, nymphs and streamers, and teaches you to how to construct the go-to flies for use throughout the season, especially on the Farmington. All materials, including vises and tools will be provided, or you can use your own vise and tools.

Tuition is $150.00 paid in advance, by check, to secure your spot. Class hours will be from 9:30am-4pm (1/2 hour to 45 min lunch break, please bring a bag lunch). The class size is limited to 6 people and it fills up quickly, so sign up ASAP by calling Mark directly on his cell/text at 203-586-8007.
