I just have a couple questions for you Rick

1. For the class do i need my own gear or do u supply it for the class???
2. and if we have the class (fingers crossed ;D) can we do it some time after christmas???

Don't worry about gear, I will take care of that.

As for time, Sure, after X-Mas is fine.

Rick how much do your classes cost?


My Private (1-2 People) classes are Reg $300 per person, but for X-Mas, I have a special of $200!!! this includes BOTH my books as well as 4 hours of Theory and 2-3 hours of casting class.

Semi Private (3-4 People) cost Reg $250, on for $175 (my first book only, included)
Group Classes are Reg $160, on for $90 (No Books included)

Private and Semi Private classes are scheduled whenever it is good for the customer and Myself, Group classes are set dates (TBD) in the new year.

Private classes are open, with no real time limit, Can run anywhere from 4-5 hours. Group classes are 4 hours MAX.

Private classes can be held at my office (Surrey) or at the customers place.

For more information on what my classes include, go to my website.

There were a few fishing forums 10 years ago, just not the quantity and quality of the ones today.

Here's hoping you get your wish Black. Rick is a good instructor and will get you off to a good start. Consider your self fortunate to be entering the sport today; I started fly fishing back in 1970 and my first fly fishing course in 1972, what we did back then is way lame to what we teach today. Have fun!

Austin;

I have not heard back from you, do you want the class or not. If not, I want to make an open offer to anyone (13-16 years old) that would like to learn.

I want to do this as a Christmas gift for someone, but I have not heard from you in weeks.

Please let me know, if you are not interested, fine, but let me have a chance to offer the same thing to another young person starting out.

NP,

So, Austin will be taking the class I offered, but I would like to offer a FREE class to one more young person so we can do the class together.

Looks like we will be doing the class in the new year, so if there is any new Flyfisher that would like a FREE Flyfishing class, please let me know. I would like to give the class to a young person (12-16) so if you know anyone that seems keen to learn, I would offer it Free and would even be able to give a gift certificate so it can be used as a X-Mas gift.

The class is worth $300, and is FREE, but I do ask that it goes to a young person that is EAGER to learn this great sport.
