Fly-Tying Workshops    (Updated with 2008 prices)

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,  Randall Kaufmann,  Dennis Potter, Thomas Baltz, Jeff "Bear" Andrews, Walt Young, Don Bastian, Paul Little,   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!
