Fly Tying Dry Flies For Trout
Beginner Classes
Intermediate Classes
Class Code: 3022
Professor: Chancellor Steve
Skill Level: Advanced
Syllabus:
Fly tyers will learn the basics of tying several of the most popular and effective generic dry fly patterns for trout.
Course Content:
Following is a series of videos for tying some of the most effective generic dry flies for trout. However, it is important to understand that these generic dry flies only approximate the appearance of the actual insects in the stream. This is important! You will catch more trout by specifically duplicating the actual insects. Check out our Perfect Fly brand of flies in our Store to find specific flies that imitate specific insects, and information on how and where to fish them for maximum success. To learn to tie your own perfect flies, order some from our store and use them as patterns for your own flies. Also, check out our Fly Tying DVD for tying perfect mayfly patterns, and see our entire lineup of Fly Fishing DVD's for additional information on imitating aquatic insects, basic trout fishing topics, and more!
We begin with a link to our Top 5 Trout Dry Flies, which include Parachute Adams Pattern, Elk Hair Caddis, Royal Wulff, May Fly Dunn, and Black Ant.
