Also, check out the "general interest" night classes that are offered in many communities ... Board Of Education ; Community College; Sportsman Club; if none are offered - drum-up enough interest and organize one yourself ... ? There are probably other folks just like you who would love a new hobby. Good luck. John T. did you phone your local Fly Shop and ask?

Hi John.
, We have a wildlife federation here but in order to belong to a club you must particoipate. I have no time as I have my own buisness. I also am a part time instructor at a local college and don't know of any such interests at all. Thanks anyways....jim "_jj_" wrote in message ...

I would check out a fly fishing newsgroup, I think there are a couple. They
should be able to fix you up with a couple of web sites that have animated instructional aids just for this! If you pay my airfare would gladly come and show in person.

Thanks. to reply take out the obvious or just reply to this posting here. Jim I live further east so I can't help with finding lessons but here's a link to a UK site that has beginner instruction. http://www.sexyloops.com/beginners/index.shtml They also have a beginers discussion board where you can ask questions. There's also rec.outdoors.fishing.fly where you can ask about lessons in your area. Probably won't get too many responses as I can't think of any contributors who are from your neighbourhood, but it's worth a try. I went through some old business cards and I located Battle Creek Flies in Maple Creek, Sask 306-662-2567 -- it's an old card so I don't know if they're still around, but you never know . . . . These guys might be able to help too. http://members.shaw.ca/kilpatrickflyfishers/ Some basic info: Buy your gear at a fly shop, not a tackle shop or Canadian Tire. You might save a few bucks by going the latter route but without someone experienced along with you, you're likely going to buy something that isn't going to work very well. Buying fly gear isn't like getting ordinary tackle. The fly rod and line has to be matched up by line weight. The rod and line you buy should be suitable for the fish and the condtitions. Drop me an email about where and what you're planning to fish for and I can make a few recommendations. Your idea to get lessons is an excellent one as so many beginners try to learn on their own and get frustrated then quit. It's not difficult but there are a few obvious mistakes that everyone makes, that an experienced instructor will move you past very quickly. You may want to see if you can use the instructors gear before you commit to buying your own, however, there is an advantage in learning on your own stuff.
