What to Expect

Beginner Workshop

You start at the very beginning: Which tools do you need? Which materials for which pattern? How do you secure the hook, lay the thread and build a fly step by step? Clemens walks you through the key techniques and explains why certain patterns work on certain rivers. By the end of the workshop, you will have tied several flies ready for the water.

Advanced & Specialty Workshops

Building on the basics, we work on more complex patterns: trout streamers, various nymph techniques, classic and modern dry flies. For ambitious tyers, there are specialty sessions on predator streamers for pike and huchen. Topics are tailored to the group – let us know what you're interested in when you sign up.

Pro Guide, Instructor & Fly Tyer
Clemens has been tying his own flies for years and knows the patterns that work on the Ybbs, Triesting and Pielach. In the workshop, he doesn't just show you the technique at the vise – he explains the why behind it: which insect does this fly imitate, and when do you use it? Your advantage: after the course, you're standing in the shop and can get advice on the right materials to keep going.
