Fly tying focuses on young attendees, but all ages are welcome. Tying sessions begin every 30 minutes during periods of high demand; “when you get there” during periods of lighter attendance. There are usually three casting classes per day taught by FFF Certified Casting instructors, 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. Sign-up for each casting class at the FFF booth. These classes are limited to 10 students and are about 1 hour long. Fly rods provided.
