The Fly Tying Rodeo
The Fly Tying Rodeo - 8 Week Fly Tying Program at RPG Fly Shop
Saddle up, partners—The Fly Tying Rodeo is rolling into the River People Guides Fly Shop starting January 2026!
Join us every Wednesday at 7:00 PM for an 8-week fly-tying experience filled with western vibes, good company, and finely crafted trout snacks.
Whether you’re new to the vise or a seasoned bug-slinger, this program will guide you through 2–3 professionally selected fly patterns each session, covering dry flies, nymphs, streamers, and western-inspired classics. You’ll build confidence, refine technique, and leave each night with flies you can proudly (and successfully) fish on the Elbow and beyond.
What’s Included
- All fly-tying materials provided (optional if you prefer your own)
- Weekly instruction and hands-on practice
- A high-energy community atmosphere
- Patterns chosen specifically for Alberta trout waters
- Tips, tricks, and plenty of shop talk
