Another good place to learn is your local TU chapters. Most offer fly tying classes for free or a small fee to cover materials is all. When I learned, it cost me a 12 pack of Budweiser as I recall. That was decades ago.

I am self taught but Shannons(south branch outfitters) in Califon  and tight lines fly shop in parsippany has classes also . You tube has many great videos by some of the great tiers . But good place to start is the nj fish and game at pequest.

Were you one of our back room Sunday tyers?  I was Shannon’s head guide for many years back in the day. Not a day goes by I don’t miss Jimmy may he rest in peace.

I did not tie at shannons .Go there because I fish south branch a lot.

Never been to Shannon's. I like Tight Lines in Parsippany & Golden Stonefly Outfitters (they are less than 5 minutes from my house). They have a tying class every Thursday night.

I fully understand loving dry fly fishing....BUT it's the smallest portion of fly fishing, as there isn't always hatches!

I prefer catching tuna by jigging, but will do most other methods if need be.

Dry fly for trout is fun like catching bass with frog or popper (top water)   You do miss alot or atleast I do but when you catch one it is a good feeling.
