Tom Zacoi is the director of the Masters School of Fly Fishing and Lefty Kreh is the lead instructor. The focus of the school is education. The entire weekend is designed to help every student take the next step forward in his or her fly fishing and fly tying ability. The Masters School is held on fabled Spruce Creek at Evergreen Farms, located in the picturesque Tussey Mountain Valley in Central Pennsylvania.
