Photos from the final night of our 2008 Fly Tying Class. Forty- five people signed up for the classes
this year. Here are some of their photos.
In photos where students are looking ahead, instructor Manny DaSilva was
tying the fly while the process was being projected above and behind him. Tom Panaccione or Bill Adams had
a camera trained on the vice and fly. It was projected so that all students could follow the step-by-step process.
Manny, or whoever was tying at the time, first tied the entire fly as the students observed the process. The
instructor then tied the fly as the students tied along, step-by step. Students seemed to have more success tying
various flies using this method.
During the tying process several club members roam the room to assist students
as necessary. As the students progress with their tying skills we offer suggestions and tell students to experiment
with various techniques on their own. As long as the fish thinks the fly looks like part of a meal you will catch fish,
or so the theory goes.
