Tying Room
Wing cutters are available in caddis and mayfly wing styles and have been a great new addition to the tying room. Use these razor sharp cutters with the winging material or ultra thin foam in stock to make consistent wings. These caddis and mayfly wings are realistic and durable. Innovative winging materials are colorfast, ultra thin and won’t twist leaders. Anglers can even make wings at home using feathers backed with tape and the wing cutters to punch out extremely realistic mottled wings.

Caddis Wing Cutters

Our Saturday tying classes have been filling fast all winter with both new and experienced tyers. Many beginner class attendees are just getting into tying while experienced tyers are choosing our pattern specific classes. Many classes incorporate the latest materials and products into local patterns. Sign up for a tying class run by our very own Gunpowder River fly fishing guides.
