Synopsis of Class
With the warmer days of summer here the crayfish in the streams have become more and more the primary food for Indiana smallmouth.  Now is a good time to learn some productive patterns and get catching smallmouth in your favorite streams.

There are four flies we will tie up in this class, all well proven patterns for smallmouth.  All are usually tied on larger hooks however, you can tie them on smaller hooks (size 10 and smaller) for trout.  They are simple patterns to tie up and you can quickly tie up a batch of them for your next outing.

The flies you will tie in this class are,
