Text Box: "Kansas Fly Fishing."  Yes, Toto, there is fly  fishing in Kansas!  While the Sunflower State isn't on the top of most anglers' list of places to go, perhaps it should be.  We have large Corps of Engineers' reservoirs, moderately sized State Fishing Lakes and innumerable privately owned farm ponds and streams.  Almost all of them afford the adventurous fly rod angler opportunities to fish.   We may not have world famous trout streams in Kansas, but who needs trout when you have world record-class wipers and 10 pound carp to catch?  Presented by Captain Paul "Sodie" Sodamann and Craig "Professor" Phillips of Flats Lander Guide Service, Temple Fork Outfitters Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines.  Approximately 40 minutes Text Box: "Midwest Big Game Fly Fishing - Techniques for Catching Carp, Catfish and Wipers in the Midwest."  Trout anglers may spend their lives looking for a single 5 pound fish, but Midwest anglers have access to several species of fish that may average OVER 5 pounds.  Learn techniques and tips for catching some of the best fighting fish in freshwater on a fly rod.  Presented by Captain Paul "Sodie" Sodamann and Craig " Professor" Phillips of Flats Lander Guide Service, Temple Fork Outfitters Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines.  Approximately 40 minutes  

Text Box: "Just Add Salt.-The basics of Saltwater Fly Fishing" This program covers the basics of saltwater fly fishing for the beginner or novice, focused on the Florida Keys.  It covers the equipment you need to hit the salt flats, from rods and reels to wading boots and clothing.  We discuss the fish you'll pursue; the "Big Three" of bonefish, permit and tarpon, as well as overlooked species like sharks, barracuda, jacks and anything else that will bite.  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 or 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.   Presented by Captain Paul "Sodie" Sodamann and Craig "Professor" Phillips of Flats Lander Guide Service, Temple Fork Outfitters Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines.       Approximately 40 minutes  

Text Box: "The  Skinflint's Guide to the Florida Keys-Fishing the Keys On Your Own."    This program will provide you with ways to fish the Florida Flats without a guide and without breaking the vacation budget.  We'll show you where to camp, eat and wade fish to get the most out of your fishing dollar while  you chase bonefish, tarpon, barracuda, sharks and maybe even permit.  Bring your Key's map, because we are going to  tell you EXACTLY where to park your rental car to access fishable flats.  Presented by Captain Paul "Sodie" Sodamann and Craig "Professor" Phillips of Flats Lander Guide Service, Temple Fork Outfitters Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines.   Approximately 45 minutes  

Text Box: "Knots to Know-Basic Knots For All Types of Fly Fishing"  Learn all the knots you'll ever need for rigging a fly rod and reel from tying the backing on to the reel arbor to attaching the fly and everything in between.  You'll see diagrammed and demonstrated an arbor knot, nail knot, perfection loop, surgeon's knot and improved clinch knot, along with a few other basic knots.  Then we will show you how to tie the unique and very interesting Bimini twist and other unique knots used in some saltwater fishing applications.  This is not just a demonstration, you will be provided cordage and string to tie the knots right along with us.  If there is time, we will even take requests and tie other knots you may have heard about.  Presented by Captain Paul "Sodie" Sodamann and Craig "Professor" Phillips of Flats Lander Guide Service, Temple Fork Outfitters Fly Rods and Scientific Anglers Fly Lines.  Approximately 50 minutes
