Have you ever been curious about the art of crafting flies that lure in the biggest fish or fish stories?

Join our Beginner Fly Tying Series here at Parker Dam and learn to start crafting your own flies (and stories). Our educators will guide you through each step, turning threads, feathers, and fur into your own personalized lures. Connect with nature, and learn a new skill, and reel in the excitement!

In this course we will cover roughly 10 fly patterns that will cover the basic skills needed for wet and dry flies- primarily for trout. This course is intended for those with little to no prior experience tying and is open to participants aged 14 and up. Participants under 18 must have a parent or guardian accompany them.

This series will be held in our Environmental Education Classroom at the park office on Thursdays- March 26^th, April 2^nd, and April 9^th from 6pm to 8pm. Preregistration is required and will cover your registration for all three nights. Registration closes Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 4pm.

There is a fifteen-dollar cost for those participating to cover the cost of materials for all nights, that will be collected when registration is confirmed. All tools and materials will be provided by the park. To register and make payment please contact the park office at (814)765-0630. Any questions please contact Jeremaih Irvin at jerirvin@pa.gov .
