From Orvis:
Join us for this five-class series hosted by renowned fly-fishing mentor, Tom Rosenbauer. Each week’s virtual class will feature a new pattern as well as provide you with the techniques you need as you get started tying your own flies. These live classes will take you through the entire tying process, step-by-step from beginning to end, with easy-to-follow instructions. When you sign up, you will also receive a checklist of all the materials you will need to tie each pattern. Every class will be recorded and available online, so you can go back and replay the entire class or review particular segments at any time.
