Loop connectors are used to make adding tapered leaders or Flyline tips easier.

You use the loop to do a loop to loop connection or using a knot like a Improved Clinch Knot which is easier to tie that the normal Nail knot.

Here is a like to how they work.

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.

Rick

 Wow Rick that is one great gift you are giving away.

It will be at one of 3 places;

-My Office (At my House at 184th & 64th)
-At Austins House
At Your House

The choice of where we do the class is up to you guys. It would be better at my Office, But if your parents feel better about doing it at your place, that is fine. I want to do it together (both of you at the same time) and then the casting portion will be done at the Church field on 64th at 186th.

Costas, if it would make your parents feel better, get them to call me at 604-722-0491

hey Rick, you could always have their parents attend (not participate) just to put themselves at ease  probably what i would do in this case if this was my kid, only because of the way our world has changed 

[costas]

[Rp3Flyfisher]

I have already made that suggestion, I have said to both of them that I would be fine with doing a class for 4, the boys and one of their parents.

hey rick..how long is the class anyway>??

The Theory portion is about 3-4 hours (Depending on how many questions you guys have) and the casting class is 2-3 hours. Yes it is at the Brown Church on 64th.
