Challenge Chapter Fly Tying Classes

Every year, the Challenge Chapter teaches both a beginning and intermediate level fly tying class. Classes run from January through March. The beginning class is two 5-week sessions, and the intermediate class is one 10-week session. Our classes are offered through the Birmingham Public Schools' Community Education Program (search for course "fly tying").
