Synopsis of Class
Now that colder weather is upon us some fisherman and woman are looking to head south to warmer climates to continue fishing.  Florida is always a popular destination for escaping the white stuff and for prolonging the fishing season.  But you do not have to travel all the way down to the keys to find great fishing in the sunshine state.  The entire West coast of Florida has great fishing year round.  Redfish, Sea Trout, Jack Crevalle, and Snook are popular fish along the west coast.  some of these species are more prevalent during warmer water temps but depending on your destination along the west coast you can pretty much catch these fish year round.  There are many patterns to cast upon the waters for these fish and often one pattern will work for different species.  In this tying class we will be tying four proven patterns for the West coast of Florida.  Changing material colors and hook sizes is a quick and easy way to have a fly box full of flies that will keep you catching fish until the tulips are in bloom in Indiana again.

The flies we will tie in this class are,
