Joe: That's true I guess.. Maybe I could make it a "Package deal".. But, I was
thinking that if a person wanted to learn to tie, they'd also want to learn to
fish,. But, they may already know how to fly FISH, but just don't know how to
tie... Decisions, decisions LOL. I'll probably just run an ad in the local
Buy/Sell paper, which a LOT of ppl read around here, advertising for either/or
and just see where any (if any) interest lies and go from there, Chuck

Chuck -
I think it's a chicken and the egg question. Either might work. The only
way to know is to pick one approach and give it a try.

Tony: I wonder if around here, since there are PLENTY of places like
Volunteer Fire Dept's and Civic Centers that will rent you rooms by the day,
week, month etc for things like tying lessons, or whatever. So, I have been
wanting to get up a local club. So, if I bought 4 more say Thompson A vises at
about $20 a pop, and ran an ad in the paper "6 week fly tying course", limit 6
people, first come first served. Then, the ppl would pay just enough to cover
the costs of the building,materials, snacks, etc etc.. But then I'd ask them if
they wanted to join a "tying/fishing club, and we'd then have fly fishing
lessons at the local City Park lake that I often fish. It might just "go over".
Or, do the fishing class first, then do the tying class. Or even at the same
time and do the fishing right before dark, then move to the classroom to tie,
cause the huge civic center is right there at the lake..Chuck

OK here is one.
I was doing beginner fly tying classes at a Dept Store in N.J.
This was a 6 week course. I had a husband and wife team sign up
along with 10 other students.
I started out with the basics pointing out the materials and tools
and how they are used.
This gentleman just sat quiet. As we progressed through the weeks I
noticed he had a real knack for tying. His flies were top line. He never asked
for help or had any questions.
At the end of the six weeks I commented to him about his flies
being so good. He said he had been tying for 40 years and took the class so his
wife would take it. He said he had not been able to teach her but that I did a
good job. In the classes he has attended, this was one of the best.
My face was red but I was also proud. They joined our tying group
and she is a good fly tyer now.
That was 20 years ago

Hello, VFB.I'd like to start a thread about something of interest to me, and
hopefully, to some of you.What stories do you have, that happened, when you
were at a fly tying event?You were either tying your flies, or witnessing
another tyer'spresentation. Or expanded, to include the presentations at the
casting pond? Possibilities suggested might be educational,historical,
colorful, or just danged funny.And they have to be true stories, which has to
be a huge challenge,for fly fishers!-----
Anybody want to start
the ball rolling? Just thought of this, and Idon't have anything in mind, or
written, of my own. Will do one,though.Wes WadaBend, Oregon
