    Winter Intermediate Fly Tying Class Schedule

We offer this intermediate level class early this year because of the demand for winter time classes that will leave our springtime freer for fishing.   Here is the best way to update and extend your tying skills through John Stenersen's teaching abilities, fly-fishing experience and tying skills. Not only will you have a continuous flow of information on tying and presentation of the flies covered in these classes,  you will be able to anticipate their upcoming use for future fishing seasons. We limit class size to five participants to ensure a good share of  John's attention.   Fee is $25.00 per class, and each fill on a "first-come, first-paid" basis, so sign up ASAP!  You can sign up for all or any of those offered. All required materials for the subject flies in each class are included in its fee. The only exception is in the tube fly class: see below. Each class meets in our shop classroom area Monday evenings beginning at 7 PM and extends until about 9 PM. Bring 8/0 and 6/0 black thread, head cement, and standard tying tools: tying vise, bobbins, scissors and bodkin.  

                                       

  A John Stenersen Tying Class in Progress

Monday, January 15th

Mayfly Nymphs

Learn to tie four simple mayfly nymph patterns that have proven effective on regional rivers.  These patterns are: Marabou Nymph, Lightning Bug, P. T. Brassie, and Super Flash Nymph. Presentation tips for each will be given.

Monday, January 22nd

Mayfly Emergers

Emerger patterns can be the most effective flies to use during mayfly emergences.  Typically simple to tie, they always produce when presented properly during these times.  This class will focus on tying and presenting the Floating Emerger, CDC Emerger, Quigley Cripple, and CDC Humpy emerger. Presentation information will be included 

Monday, February  12th

Killer Foam Patterns

Tying with closed cell foam has become very popular over the last decade. This class will present short cuts to help improve your skills in tying with foam and other tricks designed to increase your tying speed. Learn how to tie the CFO Ant, FP Ant, BH Stone, and Chernhopper.

Monday, February 19th

Local Streamers

Streamer fishing is one of the most rewarding types of fly fishing once you get the hang of it.  In this class you will learn not only how to tie effective patterns but also how to set them up while fishing. Learn how to tie the Lite Bright Clouser, Motor JJ, Marabou Special, and Lite Bright String Leech.

Monday, February 26th

Tube Flies

Here is a chance to learn to tie tube flies.  These are relatively new on the local tying scene, but here is your chance to learn how.  The class will concentrate on two tube streamers, one a dry pattern, the other a steelhead pattern.  Learn here which tubes to use and how to a hook to the tube fly.

Note:  If you do not own one, you will need to purchase a tube fly tool for this class. We have beginner style tube fly tools in stock for $19.95

Monday, March 5th

Stillwater Flies

Watch out Chesterfield Reservoir: Here we come! If good water remains here in 2007, this could be the star of our still water show. But continued good water levels mean that all our reservoirs will fish well in llwaters are beginning to fish well again. All you need with the good water levels are some very productive still water patterns thus this class will feature Trout Candy, Stillwater Nymph, Scamsel, and John's Midge Pupa..
