Thursday Night Live Fly Tying started two years ago, when we wanted to take our love of craft beer , as well as our love of fly tying and combine the two into a single event. When we started this idea, we quickly realized that not everyone could attend in person due to geography. This spurred us to evolve a mini production company and air this event professionally live each week. We stream live on our facebook page which can be found HERE. We are trying to keep this event free for everyone who attends, by supplying materials, and welcoming all levels of tiers. With help of donations and sponsorship, we will be able to continue to produce this event for many Thursdays to come. We want to create a very relaxed environment where there is no judgment and all feel welcome. Why can't every day be Thursday!
