2008 Dates for Our Fly Fishing School
 (03-04-2008)
We have had many people stop by FlyMasters in the last couple of months interested
in leaning how to fly fish. Even though it may seem a bit early, with snow on the ground, we have set some dates for the
first phase of our Fly Fishing School.
The first phase of our school is in the shop so we do not need to be concerned about the weather.
By the time most people can fit in the first meeting for phase II the weather starts to break
and sunny warm afternoons can be had at the pond. The following are the list of upcoming dates for Phase I.
Phase I of our school is from 7:00 - 9:00 pm on the given dates. You only need to attend ONE
Phase I meeting. You do not need to sign up ahead of time,
simply show up on the designated date at 7:00pm and you can get started. Please call us on the day of the
particular Phase I class you plan on attending, just in case there is a last minute cancellation. If you
do not have any equipment at this time, DO NOT purchase any. The instructor can provide
everything you need for the first couple of meeting. Once you have had a couple of meeting with the instructor
and some hands on time, you can then purchase your own equipment to practice (and fish) with and you will be
making a more informed purchase.
Mark your calendar and come on in this spring to learn how to fly fish. In the mean time, if you have any questions
call us at 317-570-9811.
