Fly Tying Classes with Dave Skok |
|
I have always enjoyed teaching people
how to tie flies. I
now offer several classes for fly shops and clubs and private groups. I have been doing my
Small Tuna class for several years and it has proved to be quite popular.
The Striper Flats Flies class is newer but the response has been favorable.
The Big Bass Class was new for '06 and features some grande bugs that are
sure to please the grande stripers. I will also be doing some
shorter classes (two to three hours long) this winter at First Light
Anglers and The Bear's Den - check
back for details or join my mailing list
to be notified. Most classes are full-day (10AM - 4PM), sometimes with a short slide show at lunch time that discusses tactics, equipment and spots. I provide all the necessary materials and a detailed syllabus but students should have their own vise and tools. Students should have prior tying experience. |
