Owen,
I'm new to this and never tied a fly before, although I did attend and watch in July. Is this something that will be accessible to me? If so, how do I acquire the materials?  I understand if this is too advanced. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Eliot -
They have had this at Beer Tie in the past, but, I don't know if this tying instructor will have spare materials and a vise for guest use.    If you wanted to buy the materials yourself (and well, the vise too) either District Angling or the Orvis stores in Tysons or Leesburg should have them or something close enough.

Yes, Rob, Snowhite will be tying a hellgrammite (the dobson fly larvae) at a different table, which is an easy tie and super effective on smallies.
