FRONT
RANGE ANGLERS NEWSLETTER

and fish together" |
January, 2004
|
| |
Greetings!
|
| This month's newsletter is focused on fly tying. We've made
a concentrated effort to expand and improve our classes, materials, tool
selection, and the free Saturday clinics. If you haven't been in the shop
for a while you ought to stop by. While you're there, please take advantage
of our tying and instruction center. All of our staff members are expert
tiers and will be glad to assist you in any way possible. If we don't have
the answer, we'll run it down for you. |

|
Earlier this year Larry Jurgens, aka SOS Master (the sensibilities of our
readership prevent further elaboration), has assumed the role of Director
of Fly Tying. A very well known tier Betty Lester is overseeing our beginning
and intermediate fly tying classes. By the way, if you're just getting started
these classes are an incredible bargain. If you're an experienced tier,
I guarantee you're going to have fun and improve your technique. |
|
Have you ever wanted to learn about tying Atlantic Salmon Flies? Then
you ought to stop in for the seminar that Brad Befus will be conducting.
Of course we'll have Mike Lawson on January 8, 2004 and Jack Dennis on
January 26, 2003. Both of these gentlemen know a little something about
fly tying.
Bottom line, we've got the best fly tying program on the Front Range!
