NDOW SPONSORS PROGRESSIVE FLY-TYING CLASS

If you always wanted to learn how to make your own flies or learn how to “match the hatch” the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) will teach you the basics in a free class. The fly-tying class will be held over three evenings, May 5, 6 and 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night. The class will start with a basic fly and progressively work up to a more advanced fly by the third class and is designed for beginning to intermediate level fly tiers. Class is limited to the first 15 persons who sign-up.

When: Tuesday May 5, Wednesday May 6 and Thursday May 7. The class will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night. We suggest timely attendance at all three classes as each class relies on the previous one due to increasing difficulty.

Where: Verdi Community Library and Wildlife Education Center, 270 Bridge Street. (Building is adjacent to the Verdi Elementary School grounds.)

Sign-ups: Pre-registration is required to receive the class outline. For more information call the Department of Wildlife at 688-1559.

Ages: Minimum 10 years of age.

Bring: Each class is limited to the first 15 persons who sign up. All fly tying equipment will be provided. If you have your own tools and equipment feel free to bring them. Materials will be provided only for the first class.

Cost: Free. There is no charge for attendance; however, each student shall furnish materials called for in the outline.
