TYING CLASSES FOR THE FALL

[Jeremy Hunt]

Hello to everyone,

Classes are starting back up for the fall. They will be held at Lilley's Landing Resort. Classes will be on every Tuesday at 7pm until 9pm. I really don't know if we will start this Tuesday the 15th.

If anybody can attend this week on such short notice please let me know and we can have class this week. If not then we will have class for sure on the 22nd.

The best part is they are FREE to the public. I hope to meet some of you from the forum so if your ever in town please feel free to stop by and learn some patterns for our tail waters. Or if you have a question about tying something we are always willing to help out.

One thing I would like to say is I wanted to do something a little different this year for the class. As a group I think it is important to go out after we tie some of these patterns and learn about them. I mean really learn about the presentation and why trout take different patterns for different types of water. Kind of like an "On Stream Skills Workshop”. We will touch on different casting, presentation, how to get longer drifts, how to read water, what insects are in tail waters (entomology), etc. I think we will do a full day, 4hrs in the morning and brake for lunch then 4hrs in the afternoon. Let me know what you think?

I like the full day idea! I assume it would be on a weekend since it's a full day? I would attend the tying classess if I lived closer but it's a three hour drive for me. Maybe you could schedule one every now and then on a weekend for us "long distance" types? Just an idea.

Thanks

I'd attend an all-day workshop. I'm always up for learning more about my favorite sport.

[Jeremy Hunt]

We can do that if you ever come down on the weekend. Just give us notice so we can prepare for a class to be held. The workshop will be on a weekend. I would say on a Saturday. I'm not sure when it will be, but I will keep everyone posted.

Count me in for a seminar.

I doubt I can make it tonight for a tying class, but should be ok for next week.

Jeremy I'm interested in coming to the tying class as well. But can't make it tonight.

I'd also be really interested in a full day seminar. I've been fly fishing for a while now but I still have a lot left to learn. It sounds great.

thanks,

Greg

I would be up for the seminar, if nothing unavoidable gets in the way.

What are the directions to Lilley's Landing Resort?

I know where it is on the lake but have not been there by car. I am sure there are others who would like to know as well.

Thanks.

Have you set a date for the full day seminar yet ?

Not yet!! It will be later in the fall. To hot right now! I want to do it for the people who are in class and learn how to tie these patterns, then we go out as a group and learn how to fish them and why trout relate to the different insects and why these patterns work in our tail waters. Also casting,presentaion are key as well so we will be touching on those also. I think we will sign up about twenty people and do a all day event. It will be open for the public so the first twenty who sign up will be the ones. I did this one other time and it was awesome so I think it will benefit everyone in some way.

[Jeremy Hunt]

What about later in the week?

What day are you thinking? And what does work for some of the people who are interested in making it to class. Let me know. It has been Tuesday forever, but if another day works for more people I'm sure we can change it.
