Learn to Tie Flies with the SJRVFF

SJRVFF teaches Fly Tying through South Bend Parks Department. The club switches between a beginner and an advanced curriculum every other year. Odd years the class is geared to the beginner and even years an intermediate class is offered. SJRVFF will hosts a seven week class on tying proven fly patterns for the local area and beyond. Classes will be held once a week for seven weeks starting the first Tuesday of  February at the Howard Park Senior Center. The cost for non-members of St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers (SJRVFF) is $30.00. For members of SJRVFF the class cost is $5.00. The class is limited to 30 people. SJRVFF will supply all the vises, tools and materials to tie during the class. If you have your own vise and tools, please feel free to use them for the class. For more information please contact Jeff Stanifer or Dustin New.
