Trout Unlimited to offer fly-tying classes in Norris

The Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host a nine-week introductory fly tying course beginning Jan. 18 at the Norris Community Building, 20 Chestnut Road.

The classes, held Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, will run through March 15.

Participants will learn to tie nine proven fly patterns specific to the Clinch River, completing more than 50 flies by the end of the program.

“You don’t need to own equipment or be a Trout Unlimited member to participate,” said Bob Stephan, vice president of the Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

“We’ll provide everything you need.”

The cost for the class is $135, and space is limited to 12 participants. Equipment and materials, along with an instructional guide, will be provided.
