Ladies, Come Dip Your Toes in the CCI River with Diane Blair CCIThis is the class you gals have been waiting for. For ladies only. Taught by ladies, attended by ladies. No testosterone allowed. It is your chance to see what it takes to become an FFF certified casting instructor. This is not the usual get ready class. This is a primer to give you a feel for what is involved only. Low key, no pressure. One of the very best things about this class is that regardless of your commitment to being a certified casting instructor, Diane will make sure you leave a better caster than when you arrived. Win, Win! 02. Mark Sedotti Demonstrates His Unique StreamersTake a trip to the water with Mark Sedotti and he will demonstrate his trout streamer flies of his own design. These flies were originally engineered by Mark to target Northeastern saltwater species but Mark has found the flies to be his favorite for targeting big trout as well. In this class you will learn what they look like, why they look like that, why they do what they do, and how to fish them. Most of the flies you will see are featured in the Spring 2010 issue of Fly Rod & Reel Magazine. These are flies that do what many soft plastic baits do and work on the same strike triggering instinct. This is the new direction in which fly tying (and flies) is headed. Don't miss it! 9 AM - 5 PM03. Aquatic Entomology with Art Mazzier--Want to' catch more fish???Here's your opportunity to shorten the learning curve! Nationally recognized expert, Art “Doc” Mazzier, great friend to the FFF and the Southern Council, has graciously agreed to amend his schedule in order to bring to you his in depth class on the bugs that big fish will leave cover for. Art's knowledge of entomology is nearly inexhaustible. He will lead you through a discovery and learning process that will elevate your understanding of the insects you have been encountering while fly fishing. But, Art is not just "a bug guy". He also happens to be an FFF Master Casting Instructor, certified since 1997 and a recognized expert fly tier, not to mention his considerable fishing/catching abilities. Your attendance at this session will insure you a well rounded and in depth understanding and should be considered by all serious fishers, fly tiers and conservationists. This class should be "required reading" for at least one member in each club, simply to help facilitate the implementation of stream team initiatives and to elevate your club's fly tying programs to a new level.

Initially a material for radio antennae, fiberglass’ irresistible worth came from its amenability to high volume manufacturing and predictable performance. It dominated the fishing industry for more than 40 years before the market moved to graphite. Was fiberglass abandoned too quickly? Why are some classic fiberglass fly rods commanding prices commensurate with top-tier contemporary thermoplastic super-sticks? And why are some manufacturers expanding their fiberglass selections some three decades since graphite seemingly became the unquestionable standard? Join www.flyfishohio.com publisher Joe Cornwall for this 30 minute exploration of the strengths, weaknesses and performance advantages delivered by fiberglass. After the seminar you’ll be able to cast examples of both classic and contemporary fiberglass fly rods of all sizes and weights. Location: Seminar Room 12:45 - 1:30 PM25. Just Add Salt with Capt.

Tides and their influence on the flats we fish is a vitally important piece of knowledge for saltwater anglers, and we discuss tidal flow and which fishes best. If you plan to head to Florida, Belize, the Bahamas, or any other tropical fly fishing destination, this seminar will be a great primer for you. Much of the information is applicable to the Gulf Coast redfish and speckled trout fishery as well. 1 PM - Finish26. Jerry Clark Casting Games Ozark Fly FishersTry your skills at the casting pools.

Flower Arranging with Sally ZielinskiSally Henry Zielinski has been a garden club member for many years. This is where she was introduced to floral design. It was an intriguing and intimidating experience working with arrangements ranging from massive, traditional designs to a small design made up of assorted greens using just one flower as a focal point. After being exposed to the work of many floral designers, she obtained a wealth of knowledge. Exposure is a wonderful teacher and in 2003, after several schools of study, Sally became an accredited flower show judge. She has been a Master Gardener for 15 years, and just received "Lifetime Membership" in that organization. Sally was born in Bangor Maine, and at the age of 5, moved to New Jersey where she lived until moving to AR in 1989. A class in calligraphy triggered her attempt at poetry. She joined the Baxter County Poet's Association in 1995 and served as President of that organization for 9 years. In 2004, her book "Trips to the Attic" was published. This is a poetic compilation of childhood memories, nature, flowers, and animals. Her lecture and demonstration "Trips to the Garden" will teach you:
