Fly Dressing Program 2006 to 2007 The course will be run from Monday 6th November 2006 until 26th February 2007 with a short break for Christmas and the New Year. The intention of the course is to teach fly dressing and tying techniques as opposed to tying specific types of fly. Having said this however two flies will be tied each evening to develop the tiers skills and introduce them to new techniques. The techniques will be appropriate to the level of skill and experience that each individual tier has with a view to push the boundaries of that tiers skill. A calendar of planned evenings is detailed below and is flexible and can be changed to meet the needs of the students. These needs will be established on the first night of the course.
