This year we will again be offering the following courses:

Beginners Fly Tying Class: This is our entry level class for the person just getting started in fly tying or who has very little experience. We will cover the basic tools, techniques and materials necessary to tie a variety of basic flies, concentrating on patterns that work well on local rivers and streams.

Intermediate Fly Tying Class: This class is for the intermediate tier who has acquired the basic skills in handling tools and materials either by previously taking a beginners course and/or tying flies regularly for a year.

Fly Tiers Workshop: The workshop is designed for the student who has taken our intermediate level course or at least 4 years tying experience and wants to improve their tying skills and keep current with techniques and materials. You need only to bring your tying tools and vise, all needed materials for the night will be provided by the instructor.

This year the workshop will focus on Catskill and New England patterns.

Fly tying sessions will be held in the American Legion Hall, New Market Road, Dunellen, NJ 08812. Click here for directions.

This course is open to members and nonmembers. We welcome anyone who has an interest in CJTU and/or the sport of Fly Fishing or Fly Tying.

We have many talented instructors who are more than willing to pass on the legacy. We expect to have an instructor for every four students, enabling each person to have a great amount of individual attention.

Registrants are expected to bring their own tools. A list of basic tools, materials and hooks will be provided.

Our courses are taught in a relaxed atmosphere of camaraderie. We feel that with the patient, guiding help of our instructors, everyone will finish the course with a good working knowledge of how to tie flies.

Please register early so CJTU can plan ahead to make your course a success.
