Spun Head Flies This Saturday
 (05-5-2008)
Even though the fishing is picking up and the tying is
slowing down we are still having a few more classes in our
intermediate and Skills Development Tying classes.
Join us this Saturday as we tie up some
Spun Head Flies. These are great patterns to make
a lot of racket on the water, if that is what you are after.
The only excuse to not attend is if the fish are bitin'.
See you Saturday. |

Brookville Resource Information
 (03-18-2008)
The weather is getting warmer and many customers have been
coming in the shop asking about the trout fishing in the
tailwater of Brookville reservoir. Even though we have
had a lot (a whole lot) of rain lately, soon this little
fishery will be hopping. We just want to remind out
customers and visitors that we have a section of our site
dedicated to this fishery. You can access the
Brookville Information by
following this link or from any page by looking under the
Resource section of our menu at the top of each page.
We recently changed the layout of the information to help
people get to it a little quicker. Let us know if
there is any additional information you would like to see
here. |

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.

Learn to Tie Your Own Flies
 Most fly fisherman and women turn to
other pursuits in the winter months. Even though you can still fish throughout Indiana in the winter
it can sometimes get a little too cold for most fishing. So why not learn to tie your own flies in our
Beginning Fly Tying class this winter. This way you can continue
your love of fly fishing but stay nice and cozy indoors. We have dates for our next class beginning in
February and more throughout the year. This tying class is 5 two hour sessions. The fee is $50.00 plus materials.
Reservations are required. Please call us at 317-570-9811 to get started on a lifetime passion!
