SPECIAL NIGHT -- DVD – supplemental learning WEDNESDAY May 25th - we will watch an instructional DVD to
cover “on the steam” activity. We watch this TEACHING DVD in 3 Rivers Angler
fly shop because Allen and Jeremy are gracious enough to allow us to have the
shop all to ourselves. The shop is closed to the public -- for our
class only.

Students will be:
Knowledgeable -- enough to feel comfortable in any
fly shop – know what you are looking at…
Confident and Productive (ability
to catch fish) to be able to read the stream / know where and what direction
(upstream or downstream) and make the right presentation with the particular
fly – to catch fish.
Have the right temperament to handle “problems” like snags /
lost flies / falling in / and still enjoy themselves
Topics that we cover:
WE COVER ALL GEAR
about 8 hours of
classroom instruction
We start at the reel and cover what you
NEED to know about setup / drag / backing / line / how to rig etc..
We move to the fly rods – covering the
variety of weights / What to buy / what to avoid
We then cover lines – what you need to
know about them and the different types
We then review leaders / tippets – many money saving
tips here
We cover knots / loops / all hands-on
We then cover flies – Types / Categories /
Presentation

MORE GEAR -- We discuss clothing /
vests / walking sticks / gear in the vest / types of Waders… all aspects of gear
Where to go / streams in the area / laws
or special regulations / trout and bass
WE COVER CASTING
About 4 HOURS HANDS - ON casting –
each student will be able to cast proficiently
Class is held at Cedar Bluff Racquet Club
-- in ANY weather because we cast on a Tennis court. We have a classroom section and then a casting lesson each night.
I can supply a student their fly rod if
needed – no equipment is required. Most do bring their own rod / reel with them
if they have one, of course. We discuss what to buy to make the students an
informed buyer as part of the class. 3 Rivers Angler fly shop has a lifetime
warranty fly rod for about $160, if you need a great rod at a great price. If
you have a rod / reel let me know about it and bring it with you each night.
All you NEED to bring is a notebook and pen – each night.
(I will supply all equipment)
CLASS PRICE is $199/student
