Free fly tying courses

Approximately one-third of the website consists of free content, which now includes our detailed and user-friendly Estuary, Bass, and Trout fly tying courses. These courses are accompanied by a comprehensive A-Z guide of fly tying skills, as well as a Glossary (or Dictionary, if you prefer) that assists in understanding a lengthy list of fly tying terminology. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you wish to begin a fly-tying course from the beginning, simply improve your existing skills, or introduce someone to the pleasures of fly tying, as we have made it as effortless as ABC. Click on "fish on fly" on the menu bar above and select Fly-tying courses in the drop down list. Your feedback would be appreciated.
