$75 per person

6-8 person max

This class will demonstrate through group participation several patterns that will provide continual success on the Farmington, Deerfield, Delaware and rivers abroad.  These flies are a wide range of surface and subsurface patterns that with a few alterations can be used to represent several different food forms readily available. 

A discussion on all aspects encompassing each pattern will go hand in hand with the hands on participatory tying instruction.  Some things that will be covered will be:

1.  The most productive sizes, color schemes and times when to use the particular pattern.

2.  How to manipulate and utilize the materials properly in the construction of the patterns to produce consistently aesthetic and fishable patterns.

3.  Tips, short cuts and techniques that will make one a more consistent and efficient tyer.

4.  Explain and demonstrate hook choices and reasoning behind the use of certain hooks.

5.  Provide hands on instruction with simultaneous participation throughout all phases of each pattern with an open forum for questions concerning the flies tied.



Materials to bring:

Vise, bobbin, whip finish, scissors and an array of colored threads.

Rich will supply the materials for the class including hooks etc.

Bring a notepad to copy a comprehensive list of pattern variations and color combinations.
