Those of you that have a serious desire of getting into flyfishing, here is your chance to be trained by some of the best! Some of these guys trained me as a Tadpole back in the early 80's! So, if I can do it...you can do it!!! 
This is excellent timing, because my beginning-intermediate saltwater flyfishing class will be at the NFGFC next's meeting date 7/19/07! I will not cover fly casting other than some most basic moves due to limited space and time, so sign up, folks!

Myself, Barhopr and Reel Slow made it to the clinic....Not sure if any one else was there, I couldn't hear all the names during roll call.
Picked up alot of good info at the clinic, I will go to another one, highly recommend it to anyone interested in fly fishing as well.
Went to BigBend Fly Shop with Barhopr and picked a few things up, ran into Littoral on the way out the door.
Enjoyed it RS & BH

Had a great time learning with BH and Chalk.
Was a very useful clinic. Instructors knew there stuff and were good at teaching too.
Chalk got the most improved prize, BH sold his rod for 100 bucks, I broke mine in two

Good info and learned style that seems to work good for me and learned to correct my tailing loops. I think I heard one of the instructors say that there were 20 some odd folks there today which apparently was a good turn out.
Reel Slow....sorry about hitting you in the head with my yarn fly
I was just testing my accuracy.
