We had a chain Dept Store in South Jersey that had "Craft Month". Classes on
all types of crafts were had. I did Beginning Fly Tying for three years.

OK here is one.
I was doing beginner fly tying classes
at a Dept Store in N.J.
This was a 6 week course. I had a
husband and wife team sign up along with 10 other students.
I started
out with the basics pointing out the materials and tools and how they
are used.
This gentleman just sat quiet. As we progressed through the
weeks I noticed he had a real knack for tying. His flies were top line.
He never asked for help or had any questions.
At the end of the six
weeks I commented to him about his flies being so good. He said he had
been tying for 40 years and took the class so his wife would take it.
He
said he had not been able to teach her but that I did a good job. In
the
classes he has attended, this was one of the best.
My face was red
but I was also proud. They joined our tying group and she is a good fly
tyer now.
That was 20 years ago

Hello, VFB.
I'd like to start a thread about something of interest to me, and
hopefully, to some of you.
What stories do you have, that happened, when you were at a fly tying event?
You were either tying your flies, or witnessing another tyer's
presentation. Or expanded, to include the presentations at the
casting pond? Possibilities suggested might be educational,
historical, colorful, or just danged funny.
And they have to be true stories, which has to be a huge challenge,
for fly fishers!

Anybody want to start
the ball rolling? Just thought of this, and I
don't have anything in mind, or written, of my own. Will do one,
though.
