(at the shop)
$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.
