Bar Flies is this coming Monday at Howard's Tavern. This month is an OPEN TIE. All are welcome, come and tie up some bugs, or just watch and socialize.
After Bar Flies, stick around and see the progress of the rod makers in the 2nd of the Rod Building Classes, from 8-10pm.
PWWTU is excited to welcome John Mlakar as the instructor for our Fly Rod Building Class, concluding Monday, June 23, 2025.
John is no stranger to our chapter. He’s not only passionate about fly rod building but also brings the technical knowledge and patience that make him a fantastic instructor for both beginners and experienced rod builders. Personally, I’ve been eager to build a new 5 wt. rod to replace my very first “adult” fly rod — and this class is the perfect opportunity to do just that.
Class Details:
Dates: Monday, June 23
Time: 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Howard’s Tavern, 98 Center Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15229
This hands-on class will walk you through the process of building your very own carbon fiber fly rod — any weight or length you prefer.
Let’s build something memorable together. Hope to see you there — and feel free to spread the word!
Tight lines,
Penn’s Woods West Trout Unlimited
