Fly Tying Classes  

Fly tying is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing hobbies that you can imagine. Plus, there is no better pleasure than to catch a fish with a fly that you tied yourself. Eastern Trophies Fly Fishing and The Trophy Room are once again offering Fly Tying instruction.

These classes will feature VMI (Video Monitored Instruction). As the instructor teaches the class, their fly is projected on a video monitor so the students have a clear view of the step by step process of tying each fly. Your instructor, William Heresniak has a graduate degree in education, and he is also a fly fishing guide for Eastern Trophies Fly Fishing.

An introductory class will center on the Elk Hair Caddis, Pheasant Tail Nymph, Blue Wing, Olive Nymph, Clouser Minnow, Woolly Bugger, San Juan Worm, Clouser Minnow, and others.

An intermediate class will center on the Mickey Finn, Yellow Butt Monkey, Deceiver, Flash Fly Clouser, Warbird, Wool Headed Sculpin, Zonker, and others. Previous tying experience will be helpful.

Additional Classes on Smallmouth Bass flies and Trophy Trout Flies will also be offered.

The registration fee is $100.00 ($80.00 for Northern Virginia Trout Unlimited members), which entitles you to the following:

- 25% discount on a fly tying package that includes the material required for the class
- 20% off all fly tying material from the The Trophy Room until January 31st, 2006
- Personalized instruction in tying a Wooly Bugger, Pheasant Tail Nymph, a San Juan Worm, and many others
- Experience with a Renzetti vice and fly tying tools
- Video Monitored Instruction (The instructor's fly is shown up close on a video monitor so each student can follow as if they had a fly being tied right in front of them.

The classes are being held at The Trophy Room at 210 King Street in Alexandria, Virginia. Seating is limited, so be sure to register early. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions, or if you would like additional information. We hope to see you there.

Testimonial
William,

I just wanted to send a quick note regarding the Introduction to Fly Tying class I recently took. I was somewhat apprehensive before the class as this is my first year fly fishing, but decided to give it a try. Your teaching methods are great! I was impressed with the way you kept the class learning and moving forward at the same pace. The innovative use of the video camera really helped to illustrate key points on numerous occasions. It was great to meet other people interested in learning fly tying and I enjoyed our discussions not only on tying flies, but the fly fishing tips for the flies tied etc. I intend to take another class again as I know it will save many hours of trial and error. BTW, I just tied two all white Clouser Minnows today that I intend to try per your suggestion this weekend -whether it snows or not. Thanks for a great class and best of all thanks for making the class fun!!!

Best regards,
Ed S.
