Fly Tying Clinic
Regardless of whether you are a newcomer, beginner or improver fly tyer....
there are moments in fly tying when you get stuck with tying steps or techniques, with the use of certain materials or with the use of different tools and aids, when you reach your limits in tying, or when you fiddle at the vice for a solution ... Do you sometimes feel the same way?
Then Peter Gathercole, Chris Reeves and Caroline Emmet are the right people to talk to, as they offer two 1-hour beginner and two 1-hour improver workshops at the EWF.

Registration:
The first come-first serve principle applies here! We offer free of charge 4 places for each workshop.
Please register under our email info(a)e-w-f.de or register "on the off chance" before the beginning of the individual workshops with the tying instructors at stand TOG 1 on the first floor of the Tenne.
What do you bring with you:
First of all, lots of questions, lots of fun. If you have a tying vice or other materials with you, that is welcome. But we will also be equipped with tools and materials!
What else is there with us:
The fly tying classes will be mainly in English, but no problem for those who need some assistance... we will have a German speaking fly tyer on hand to help with the translation if needed.
