We have been tying flies for well over forty
combined years and have tied with or fished with names such as
Chris Helm, Lefty Kreh, Oliver Edwards, Wayne Luallen, Mike Martinek,
Davey Wotton, Marvin Nolte, Gary & Jason Borger, Dave Whitlock, Gary
LaFontaine, Dennis Potter, Thomas Baltz, Jeff
"Bear" Andrews, Walt
Young, Don Bastian, Paul Little, Ed Engle, Ed Shenk, Peter Smith, Chris Watson and many others.
We are continuously reading
books, watching videos and taking part in workshops and seminars to better our
tying and teaching abilities.
As someone once said-
".........do you have thirty years of experience or do you have one year of
experience thirty times?"
We are constantly trying new materials, learning new techniques and being
introduced to new styles. We offer fly tying lessons or workshops as
follows:
- Fly-Tying Workshops-
We have paid to take quite a few workshops and have tried
to incorporate these experiences into our workshops. Simply
stated- Glenn River Fly Co. LTD is available to conduct fly tying
workshops on sight within a 6 state area including Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois, for fly shops, clubs and
other organizations. Both Glenn and Wayne instruct for
better educational purposes. Our goal is to walk you through
numerous fly patterns, taking time to talk about materials, threads,
techniques and styles. We will provide a material kit for each
pattern that you will be tying with us so there is no wasted time or
interruption "passing' materials around the table. If you have a
fly-tying group or club, a fly-fishing group or club, a fly shop or
other organization- consider calling us to custom build you a hands-on
fly-tying workshop today!
