Fly Tying Classes

[Rolan Duffield]

The Missouri Trout Fishermans Association, Kansas City Chapter will be offering the following Fly Tying classes in early 2008.

A 5 session class at Bass Pro Shops in Olathe starting approximately 10:00am on January 19, 2008. The first class will meet at the Fly Shop at BPS. After that their will be a seminar room available for the classes. Bass Pro is charging $20.00 for materials that they will be supplying for the class. Or a student may purchase a fly tying kit from Bass Pro that includes all tools and materials they will need. I believe the kit normally sells for $49.99 but will be sold to students for $40.00. The kit will include a fly tying vise,tools and materials (hooks, thread,feathers,etc.) that will be needed for the class. The MTFA is not charging anything for this class but if students want to join, we will be there with applications. The joining fee is $10.00

Here is the basic outline of what we plan to tie at the classes.

1. Wooly worm / Wooly bugger

2. Furbug - Glo ball - John Deere (jig).

3. Pheasant Tail / Scud

4. Soft Hackle / Crackleback

5. Ant / Renegade

The MTFA still plans on having their traditional beginning and advanced fly tying classes at Flemming Hall (near Lake Jacomo) starting Monday night, January 14th, 2008. We plan on 6 sessions for these classes. A couple of years ago we changed the cost to be the same as the annual dues, $10.00

We will be promoting both classes at the KC Sports Show, Jan. 9-13 and will limit each class to about 20 people.
