Plans for Winter Fly tying and Tactics classes
|
|
The Souderton fly tying classes are going well and it is a good time to start planning for the winter tying and tactics classes. Sam is currently working on the winter schedule, but here is the tentative plan.
At Souderton middle school, the club is planning to run a tactics class on Monday and an intermediate/advanced class on Tuesday evenings. At the Plymouth Recreation Center, we will go back to Thursday evening classes. On Thursday we will run both a beginner and an advanced tying class.
These plans are still tentative and registration is not yet open. |
