Guide Flies! They catch fish for a reason. They're buggy, quick to tie, and have some of the best big fish juju in the land. We're excited to partner with Umpqua Feather Merchants Signature Fly Designer Shea Gunkel to offer this Women Are Fly special class "Tying Guide Flies with Shea Gunkel"

Colorado is home to some of the best fly designers and tiers in the country. Shea Gunkel just so happens to be a Colorado native and resident. You might remember Shea from the fly tying video that we produced with him in late 2018.

Born and raised in Colorado, Shea has been tying flies since he was 10. While we're not at liberty to release Shea's age, we do know that's been quite some time. With patterns such as Shotglass Baetis, Shotglass Emerger Dun, and the Splatte Roller, Shea's flies should be a staple in every anglers box.

Make sure to follow Shea on Instagram (@sheagunkel).

Here’s your chance to take your tying to the next level. Our small class size (6-participants), allows you to share a vise with one of the best in the business. No vise, no worries we’ll have extras. Materials will be available for purchase. *Space is limited on this so don’t delay and sign up.
