capecodsmallie Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I received a catalog from the local community college for some adult education classess. There was a course for fly tying. It had me thinking that it would be great if there was a class for soft plastics. I'm way too much of a novice to attempt teaching a class,but I was thinking it would be a way for some of you "pro" pourers out there to make a little extra money and teach some people how to make soft plastic baits. Seems like there are people out there that would love to get a "hands-on experience from an expert maker. Just an idea I thought I would share.

Senkosam Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 The only problem would be is getting a college to allow the subject to be taught, especially one that would only take a few days to demonstrate. You would think that fishing, in general, would be taught as an elective considering the depth and range of topics that would have to be included. Denny Brauer is probably the only pro teaching techniques at a university because TNN pays for the classroom. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I think that's the big problem - funding. I'll bet you could find plenty of guys willing to teach a course on pouring plastics, but could you find an institute willing to pay for it?? I have seen the fly tying courses before and I honestly believe you could share as much information in plastics. There are tricks of the trade that can take weeks/months to learn. Also seems that more and more guys are getting into pouring and the demand for a class might be there someday. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
