Fly Tying Education
Have you always wanted to learn to tie your own flies but were not sure how to get started? Maybe you've been tying for a while and could use some help to get your tying skills to the next level? Maybe you are an accomplished fly tyer but would be interested in learning some cool new patterns or learn how to get more out of your materials and your tying time?

The staff at TCO Fly Shop can answer all these issues and more by providing expert instruction for people of all skill levels from beginner to advanced and fly patterns for everything from trout to tarpon. Our fly tying instructor team is comprised of experienced individuals that will teach you how to master the basic techniques to get you catching fish on your own flies. They will also focus on tips to improve your speed and efficiency at the vise, while learning new fly patterns and materials.

At TCO we schedule classes throughout the year for a variety of interests in small group settings. All materials are provided and you are encouraged to bring your own tools or use ours.
