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.
