Learn the art of fly-tying with MDC in Columbia Feb. 10

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites anglers ages 18 and older to learn the art of fly-tying this winter.  A beginner fly-tying program will be held Tuesday, Feb. 10 from 6-8 p.m. at the MDC Regional Office in Columbia.

Fly-tying is a great way to customize a fly to catch a specific type of fish or fish a stream. Catching a fish with a handmade fly can also give anglers an added sense of accomplishment. This program will teach beginners several basic patterns for fly-tying. All materials will be provided, and the event is free to the public.

Registration is required at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/o3R.
