Fly Tying Classes

In addition to the commercial tiers that most shops use, Unicoi Outfitters uses local tiers to provide us with the best flies, including exclusive patterns. Some of these same local tiers are our guides and teach regularly-scheduled fly-tying classes at both our Helen and Blue Ridge stores. Our fly-tying classes are perfect for you if you're wanting to learn, not just the basics, but techniques and patterns that are genuinely useful for fishing North Georgia and Southern Appalachian trout streams.

Basic Fly tying classes are offered approximately every other month for $65. Tying classes are limited in size to provide as much one on one instruction as possible. All materials for the class are supplied. Intermediate and advanced classes are also available upon request. For more info, or to enroll or inquire about the next set of classes, please contact us at either shop.
