Bugs & Brews Fly Tying Class

An Evening of Flies, Friendship, and Flavor in Pagosa Springs

Join us at PJ’s Fine Bamboo Rods in downtown Pagosa Springs, Colorado for a fun, relaxed evening of fly tying and craft brews. Our Bugs & Brews Fly Tying Class is the perfect way to learn the fundamentals of fly tying—or refine your skills—in a welcoming setting where fishing stories, good company, and a cold drink are always part of the experience.

Whether you’re brand new to fly tying or a seasoned angler, this class is designed to help you connect more deeply with the craft of fly fishing. You’ll leave with a set of hand-tied flies, new techniques, and plenty of stories to share on the water.

What You’ll Experience

During this hands-on class, you will:

• Learn the basics of fly tying with step-by-step instruction—no experience necessary.

• Use provided tools and premium materials to tie up to four flies (yours to keep).

• Enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere with Riff Raff Brewing craft beer on tap, exclusive Stranahan’s Distillery whiskey tastings, and non-alcoholic options available.

• Connect with fellow anglers and share fishing stories while developing a timeless skill.

Classes are small and personal, making this a great activity for individuals, couples, or friends looking for a unique evening out in downtown Pagosa Springs.

What You’ll Take Home

At the end of the night, you’ll walk away with:

• Up to four hand-tied flies ready to fish on your next trip

• A foundation of fly tying knowledge you can continue to build on

• A memorable evening of camaraderie, stories, and laughter
