FlyMasters of Indianapolis
Intermediate Fly Tying Class

Instructor: Ian Anderson

Synopsis of Class
The warmer weather is finally starting to show up and everyone is itching to get out for some smallmouth fun.  In the early season, before the water is warm enough for topwater action, you must turn to streamers fished low and slow to get smallies to bite.    However, soon the smallies will be a little deeper in the rivers to get away from the bright sun.  That means streamers will be more productive.  Especially heavily weighted flies that can fish the bottom.

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.  One in particular is one of my "go to" flies when all else fails.  In order to find out which one it is, come on in a tie it up with us this Saturday.

The flies you will tie in this class are,
