FREE FLY-TYING WORKSHOP

One of the enjoyable asides to the sport of fly fishing is tying one’s own flies. This is not only a relaxing way to wind down after a long day at work but also a great way to stay in the game when you can’t be on the water. For those who are interested in learning how to tie their own flies, the Nevada Department of Wildlife will be holding a free fly-tying workshop at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 23.

Participants in this hands-on, entry-level course will learn the basics of tying fishing flies while covering such topics as equipment, materials, terminology, and techniques for creating flies. All equipment and materials will be provided. The class will be held at the NDOW office located at 4747 Vegas Drive (at Decatur Blvd.). For more information and registration contact Ivy Santee at 486-5127 x 3503, Mon. – Fri. from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
