Intermediate Fly Tying Class

Date/Time: February 28th, 2009, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Maximum Size: 8
Instructor: Ian Anderson
Cost: $10.00
Synopsis of Class
Two  of the first fish of the new season to become active as lakes clear of ice are the Northern Pike and the muskellunge.  These fish move up into the shallow waters right after ice out to spawn and are very aggressive.  It is one of the few times of the year you can catch big pIke and muskie using just your floating line.  As the waters warm the fish will go to deeper water.

In this class you will learn to tie three different flies that are great pike and muskie flies.  These are all minnow or baitfish imitations.  All three can be fished in the colors we will tie in class as well small variations can be easily made to color and weight to accommodate your particular fishing conditions.

The flies you will tie are,
