thatleetboy Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I have volunteered to do a couple of shifts at the Toronto Sportsman's Show. There will be an area where Trout Unlimited is teaching kids how to tie flies... I know that Bill Christmas is still looking to see if he can find a few warm bodies to help teach the kids. If you've got a couple of extra hours, it will get you free admission to the show once your teaching shift is over. I don't think you have to be a master tyer to do this... hey, they're taking me. I believe the fly that is being taught is a woolly worm. If you want to get in touch with Bill and see if you can help, either contact him directly, or send me a PM or email, and I will put you in touch with him directly.

Spiel Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm surprised that this hasn't received any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatleetboy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Well, it was a pretty interesting experience. Great kids, as well as lots of interesting, far more experienced tyers... If you want, you can read my post about it here... Best of all, I met some experienced anglers who promised to take me fly fishing! (cuz I really need the help...)

thatleetboy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I remember doing this at the show when I was 11-12 years old, and I thought it was the best thing ever. I still have the fly. That is so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 If "jig tying" were also being taught and I was much closer I would do it in a heart beat....we need to keep our youth interested in the Great Outdoors (and I don't mean the movie).....you never know what will trigger a kid's attention to get involved. Come on guys....time to belly up to the bar.... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
