What you'll do
This is a Family friendly experience!
If you don't see a date/time that suits you, contact me! We continue to work with various industry experts including NOLS, Global Rescue and the Wilderness Medicine Institute to develop and implement health safety protocols.
This can be your first time ever fly fish tying or you might be a seasoned person on the river. This experience is for all folk! I've worked with folk from age 6-90!
Tenkara Fly fish tying...Simplicity in nature. Spend two hours in my home, in the mountains practicing the art of Tenkara fly fish tying. With Tenkara, we use only the essentials making your Experience about the joy of being out there, preparing to fish for trout!
Tenkara fly fishing strips away all the extras of spending time on the river and leaves one with a Beautiful Adventure.
Tenkara is simply a rod, a line and a hook. The cork-handled rod telescopes down to the size of a lightweight baton for easy transport. Uncapped, it extends to 11 to 13 feet. On the delicate rod tip is a braided nub onto which the leader is tied, usually a rod’s length of furled monofilament and tippet. The fly can be anything the angler wants to use.
If you are ready for an adventure, come spend time in my home or on my porch in the Mountains, learning the art of Tenkara fly fish tying!
Other things to note
This is a beginner to intermediate fly tying workshop. All are welcome!

You'll spend your two hours with me on our deck in the mountains. Depending on the weather and time of day, we may be under our awning, but still outside. A true Park City beauty.

How to say, Shawn is a lovely human with beautiful wisdom that expands well beyond the art of Tenkara Fly tying. His compassion and grace as an educator shined as he shared his stories and appreciation for life with us. Making our exploration into Tenkara tying a further adventure that took us beyond Shawn's front yard. We definitely feel we walked away with more than a few fly flies~

I had a great time learning to tie flies with Shawn. He has a background as an educator, and it shows in his instruction. He makes you feel right at home, is a great person to chat with, and is super knowledgeable about the outdoors. I hope my adventures bring me back to get out and catch some fish with him. I highly recommend this class, it was one of the best things I did in Park City!
