Thanks Diane, that site helps also.

Warmwater - This will be the third year that I've taught the class. I've got some kids that are quite skilled at tying, while others struggle with simply tying the thread on. The list of flies that I can teach are limited by those factors, and that fact that there is just one of me for 20 kids, and I'm pregnant to boot!! In the past we've tied wooly buggers, which are difficult if you're teaching 20 kids at one time, some midges, various nymphs, and some foam beetles. I usually start the kids out with a green weenie since it is very easy. I'll probably start with that this year and then do Al's EZ nymph and go from there.

I get frustrated because I can't teach the kids individually. I'm a perfectionist and I want the kids to tie "perfect" flies. I have to constantly remind myself that I am just teaching the basics. If a kid is serious about tying, they will continue this hobby on their own time and seek out perfection and more difficult patterns on their own.
