Steve, do you know what the cost will be this year?

Thanks!

This is on my list, but I never seem to fit in the time. I hope you keep these going for a few more years.

Great opportunity to visit my folks in Great Falls, swing down to Livingston, learn a lot, and get in some fly fishing.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Both Seminars are beginning to fill, and deposits arrive.

I just had a fellow ask for the brochure for next year. Most of the students come from a list I keep of interested parties from years past. Please let me know if you want on that list for future years, but please don't tire kick. This is a one-man operation and I put the most time into the classes when the student are here.

Check out the Trap Buttplate post above. I have all sorts of custom parts, tools, techniques and stuff around here that I show and explain to students beyond the regular curriculum.
Thanks for the positive response!
