Saturday Sessions: Fly Tying Class- Steelhead Flies

Steelhead has been a major topic at MRO from the beginning.  Some of the classic patterns that are used around the world either was conjured up through our guides or close friends of the shop.  Combine the classics with the diversity in presentation options today, fly patterns vary from small eggs and nymphs to tube and shank flies.

In this class we will warm up with basic egg and nymph pattern thoughts focusing on color theories for water conditions.  Swinging flies will be the main focus of the class though.  Shank and tube platforms will be covered.  Each student will be provided with an Aqua Tube Kit and other samples.  This “Saturday Session” will jump start your journey into tying your own steelhead flies.  Ryan Ratliff will share lessons learned over his many years fishing and guiding for steelhead.  Join us for this overview of the different types of flies needed to fill a well-stocked steelhead box for your next adventure  

This class is for intermediate and advanced tyers although we welcome all skill levels. It will be held at the shop from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Participants will need to bring their vise and basic tools. All hooks and materials for the classes will be provided.
