Anglers can learn the basics of fly tying that will prepare them to catch trout and panfish this spring. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and BOW (Becoming and Outdoor Woman) will host fly-tying workshops March 8 and 12 at the Turpin Outdoor Education Center in Lincoln.

Register to attend on Wednesday, March 8th from 6-9 p.m. here: http://apm.activecommunities.com/ngpc/Activity_Search/1592

The cost is $10 per class. Come to one or both sessions; each essentially will be the same. Different variations of flies will be introduced during each session.

Members of the Cornhusker Fly Fishers Club will teach the two-sessions, which are at 6 p.m. March 8 and 2 p.m. March 12.

The workshop, which is open to new and experienced fly tiers, will include all materials and tools needed. Reading glasses are recommended for up-close work. Participants will have the opportunity to tie four to six flies. They also will learn about community resources available to continue tying flies on their own.
