Hey all! I wanted to get this posted ASAP and give everyone some time to set aside the date/time.  Streamer and Tying Tips Fly Tying Class March 28th 10-3:30.  This is going to be a great class!  It's a combo class.  The first half of the class, we will be tying up articulated and single hook streamers.  We will be spinning a couple of my bugs.  We will then take a break for lunch and then come back for the second half of the class. Tying Tips.  We will be going over how to stack materials such as marabou, arctic fox/tail, how to palmer marabou, spin deer hair, reverse tie buck tail, tying in/down bunny strip, going over body proportions and tapering (nymphs and dries) and many more tips.  This is going to be a class you don't want to miss out on.  Not only will you come away with learning how to tie some good patterns, but you will pick up new skills on how to tie in certain materials and learn some new short cuts to boot!  Plus its FREE!!  Please call Housatonic River Outfitters in Cornwall Bridge CT 860-672-1010 and speak with Bob or Harold to let them know your coming so we can get a head count.  Look forward to seeing you all there!
