I can't seem to get an answer to my question about this post so I'll take a chance and post this.
As part of the Shawsheen Technical High School Adult program we are offering 2 Fly Tying classes beginning January 24 (Freshwater) and January 25 (Saltwater). These classes meet once per week for 10 weeks. The class starts at 6PM to 9PM. The cost is $100 plus $40 material fee. Bring your tools and your fee pays for all materials. Here is the overview of each class. [COLOR=Cyan]You have to contact me to sign up for the class. You can reach me via this forum. Registration ends this Friday for the class.
Intermediate Fly Tying January 24, 2005
This course is designed to improve your tying skills and fill your fly box with some of the best patterns for trout and bass. The flies we will tie were chosen for their effectiveness in catching fish as well as the variety of techniques required to construct them. We will look at a few variations of these flies to demonstrate how a slight change in a pattern can imitate a different stage in an insect’s life. Most nights we will only attempt one type of fly in order to master the skills necessary to tie them. One of our goals will be to fill our fly box with these flies, so we will need a dedicated night for each fly to do that. This is a hand's on class and each student will need a vise, bobbin and scissors.

Saltwater Fly Tying January 25, 2005
The focus of this course is to learn how to tie the flies that imitate the striped bass favorite foods. The flies we will tie were chosen for their effectiveness in catching fish as well as the variety of techniques required to construct them. Most nights we will only attempt one type of fly in order to master the skills necessary to tie them. One of our goals will be to fill our fly box with these flies, so we will need a dedicated night for each fly to do that. There are a variety of natural and synthetic materials that are used in these flies. We will look at the different materials and talk about where they are best used and why. Many of these flies use epoxy to either hold the materials together and/or create a more durable fly. We will look at the techniques for using epoxy and a couple similar resins called Soft Body and Softex. Although many of these flies can be tied by a beginner you should have some tying experience because of the quantities of flies we will tie.
