Classes are filling up fast: As of publication on December 2, there is 1 open seat in intermediate and 10 in beginner!
Trout Unlimited invites you to learn fly tying or improve your tying skills this winter. Experienced SWTU instructors will teach both beginning and intermediate level fly-tying courses in Fitchburg starting Wednesday January 14, 2026. Both beginning and intermediate courses meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Fitchburg Community Center (5510 Lacy Rd., Fitchburg) beginning January 14, 2026. Courses run for eight consecutive Wednesdays (final class March 4, 2026). Classes consist of instructor-led demonstrations and hands-on tutorials. The courses are completely free of charge, and all materials needed during in-class instruction are provided. You need only supply fly-tying tools and thread, a list of which is available at https://www.swtu.org/learn/flytying/flytying-classes/.
Beginning Fly Tying is intended for those with limited previous fly-tying experience, including complete beginners. General techniques needed as a foundation for fly tying are established, and basic but effective trout fly patterns are demonstrated and practiced. An instructional booklet with pattern sheets is provided free of charge.
Intermediate Fly Tying is intended for those who have a solid foundation of fly-tying experience and want to improve their proficiency. The course builds on the foundations of Beginning Fly Tying and progresses to more challenging fly patterns. Techniques and materials are more varied than Beginning Fly Tying, the patterns can be more complex, and the hook sizes are considerably smaller than flies of the beginning course.
Advanced registration is required! Register online at the Fitchburg Recreation Department (https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fitchburg/activity/search). If you’ve not previously created a customer account with Fitchburg Recreation, you must do so before registering.
