Synopsis of Class
If you have ever cast jointed Lazy Ike's or Rapala's you know just how effective this action can be on fish.  You can accomplish similar action in the flies you tie by making them articulated.  Basically, an articulated fly is two flies connected by wire or monofilament such that the two flies have separate action from one another.  You can make almost any fly pattern into an articulated pattern but there are a number of popular patterns that have been developed over the years that are specifically made with articulation in mind.  The purpose of this tying class is to introduce you to the methods of articulation as well as show you how to tie some very productive articulated patterns that are must to have in your fly box.

The flies you will learnt to tie in this class are,
