Intermediate Fly Tying Class

Maximum Size: 6
Instructor: Ian Anderson
Cost: $10.00
Synopsis of Class
One of the best times of the year for catching big smallmouth is in the fall.  As the water temperatures drop and the waters clear, smallmouth bass are on the prowl for baitfish.  The crawdads are busy finding their winter homes and the smallies have to fatten up for winter.  This means that minnow type streamer patterns can be very effective.  The important thing to remember is to make your patterns in colors that reflect the types of bait fish and minnows in your waters.

In this class we will be tying up four proven patterns for smallmouth streamer fishing.  By varying the amount of weight on these flies you can fish them right on the bottom or anywhere in between.  They have wonderful action and are fun to tie.  The colors in these patterns can easily be varied to reflect any type of bait fish.

The flies you will tie in this class are,
