Steve Culton - Tying Soft Hackles, Winged, and Wingless Wets
Wet flies have been fooling trout for centuries — and the fish aren’t getting any smarter. More and more anglers are discovering that a team of wet flies is often the best way to match a hatch – target feeding fish – or use as an effective searching tool. 
 
In this class, you’ll learn to tie and fish elegant, impressionistic patterns that trout can’t resist, including: North Country spiders and other soft hackles; traditional winged wet flies; and buggy wingless wet patterns. The course also covers situational use of these patterns, and where and how to fish them. Intermediate.

Tom Rosenbauer - Dry Flies
This dry fly class will include the Eck Caddis, Tan Rabbit’s Foot Emerger, and Sneaky Spinner patterns. Tom will supply all hooks and materials, but students should bring their own vise and tying tools, plus thread. Tan 6/0 or 8/0 will work for all the patterns we are tying. If you don’t have tan, yellow or brown will also be fine.
