The class itinerary will include some of Maine's most iconic streamer patterns, originated by some of the state's legendary fly tiers and anglers, featuring at least one Carrie Stevens' pattern. A variety of techniques using an array of different methods will include material selection, use, application, and finishing procedures for tying feather-wing streamer patterns. Personalized class instruction will focus on methods and techniques designed to improve the quality of your streamers, whether tying flies to fish, for presentation, or both.
