Fly Tying Programs –
Beginning Class Info and Sign Up Sheet
Winter 2018
Welcome to
Beginning Fly Tying! In the weeks to
come we hope to take you step-by-step and introduce the basic elements and
techniques to tie simple but effective fishing fly patterns.
Since we
have a very short time to cover a considerable amount of knowledge, it is
important for you to bring the required tools, equipment and materials to each
of the sessions. You will receive a
weekly schedule at that time and all future tools and materials will be
discussed prior to the next class.
I am
providing the following information about the beginning class this year:
Dates: 7 Tuesday nights starting 02/13/2018
Class time: 6 pm to 9:00 pm
Place: Field &
Stream, Medford Oregon (Fishing Department)
Fee: There is no fee. Those signed
up for and starting the class will receive 20% off their purchases of fly tying
materials and tools purchased from Field and Stream for the class. Additionally, those completing the class will
receive a one-time coupon for 20% of their next purchase of fly tying
materials, tools, hooks and books.
Tools: You will
receive a separate email of all tools and materials needed to do the homework
for your classes. You can purchase the
needed tools/materials prior to the first class or attend the first class (I
will have tools for you to use in the first class). You can then buy the items needed from Field
& Stream (20% discount) and other local establishments to do the first week’s
homework.
Please bring all tools and materials (and the ones I
hand out) to each class!
