Dover Bay Student Classes

Over a period of a few short weeks the IWFF's members (organized by Leo Snye)  spent 4 separate days giving a group of about 30

students at Dover Bay an introduction to fly fishing.  Sessions on fly tying, casting and

theory along with the intricacies of knot tying were presented to each student.  Below are

posted a group of photos documenting the good days along with the bad.  

Instructors gathered day one to plan strategy.
