Private tying lessons.

 On Saturday we received a real treat. We got a call around noon asking about our private tying lessons. Turns out it was one of our good customers Patty. Patty and her husband Ray have been strong supporters of the shop for quite some time. They have two young boys both of which are very enthusiastic about our sport. Everett and Calvin are two of the most polite and well behaved young men we have ever had in the shop. They come in, look you dead in the eye when they shake your hand and hold on a conversation better than many grown ups. It is truly a pleasure to have them in the shop. 

 It turns out while on a recent vacation to Steamboat, Colorado Everett went into a local fly shop and the shop owner helped him tie an egg fly. Everett enjoyed the experience so his mom called and scheduled a private lesson for him. With Terry instructing and Everett following his teaching to a tee, two exceptional patterns were tied. The first pattern was a local staple pattern, the Green Weenie. Everett did so well there was enough time to fit in a second pattern. For the second fly he chose the San Juan Worm. Everett tied the Maroon pattern with confidence of someone twice his age. The smile in the picture says it all. We just had to share this with everybody. Thank you Everett for a great teaching experience.

The smile says it all!
