Miles Ahead of Any YouTube Tutorial
After years of tying flies, my private session with Al Q was truly eye-opening. Nothing on YouTube compares to receiving personalized, one-on-one instruction from a genuine legend of our craft.
I left super stoked with the “BEAST” flies I learned to tie, and I can’t wait to get them on the water. Nothing beats catching a fish on a fly you crafted yourself!

Invaluable Real-Time Guidance for Even Seasoned Tiers
Even after 20 years of fly tying, reading books, and watching videos, nothing compares to Al’s in-person instruction. Having a master correct my technique in real time saved me hours of trial and error. The nuanced tips and tricks Al shared opened up a whole new world of complex fly patterns for me. Thank you, Al, for the incredible instruction—I’ll definitely be back for more!

60 Years Later, a True Master Revitalized My Tying
My group session with Al Q at Casa de la Mosca breathed new life into my 60-year fly-tying journey.
Under his expert tutelage, I crafted the famous ‘Beast’ fly and learned the true art of saltwater patterns. I am completely motivated to practice at home and can’t wait to return for another session.
