Chermanski Inc. will be offering a limited series of two fly fishing schools starting in 2009. Join a small group of 6 anglers or less for a one-day, all-encompassing fly fishing school with Dave or his son, Captain Willie.

The basic fly fishing school is designed for beginners and novices to the sport. The emphasis of the curriculum and instruction is to prepare the students on all the basic and necessary techniques required for them to be able to fish on their own. A major part of this emphasis is placed on learning the mechanics of fly casting, shooting line, mending and roll casts. Other class topics include the theory of fly fishing, tackle components, tackle assembly, knots, leaders and connections, biology of fish, fish prey and fly selection, fly presentation, fly manipulation, strike detection, hook setting, and playing, landing, handling and releasing fish.

The advanced fly fishing school is designed for anglers who have been fishing for awhile and would like to improve their angling success with more sophisticated tactics and techniques. It is not a school for beginners or novices. The classes are intense and comprehensive for anglers serious in improving their skills for a more efficient and productive enjoyment of the sport. The instruction is given individually at each student’s learning pace. The class topics include tackle assembly, knots, leaders and connections, extending the cast, casting accuracy, handling weighted flies, casting shooting head systems, biology of fish, fish prey and fly selection, reading the water, approach and presentation, fly manipulation, strike detection, hook setting, and playing, landing, handling and releasing fish.

Starting in 2009, a limited series of fly tying classes will be offered. There will be a beginner's class for those people wanting to learn how to tie a fly. There will also be intermediate and advanced classes for tying bass and panfish flies, freshwater trout flies and saltwater flies. Most of the fly patterns demonstrated in these classes feature flies designed by Dave. The full details about these classes and a schedule will be announced in the latter part of 2009.
