For those not following the FYAOP thread, I wanted to throw out an invite to anyone wanting to attend a free on-the-river midge clinic tomorrow morning at 10:00am.

This is a rather informal clinic Jason and I are doing and we will cover the following topics:

-- Midge life cycle and fly patterns for each midge stage
-- Rods, tippets and misc midging tools
-- Midge emerger and dry fly techniques (Curtis)
-- Midge & general nymphing techniques (Jason)

Since we're a bunch of non-social elistist snobs here at UOTF, it might not be that much fun, but anyone is welcome. We're no fishing superstars, but we've done a bit of midging over the years.

Here is the location: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&ie=UTF8&ll=40.558287,-111.431022&spn=0.006007,0.014269&t=h&z=17&om=1&msid=108396916241276370524.000442fc8cead5fa5ccb6&iwloc=000442fc90885753f582e

Bring a rod or not. Come and just hang, no biggie. It's all good.

Curtis, I hope someone plans on putting this on video. Sounds very informative for those who will miss out like myself.

Dang, if only we had someone with some video equipment....

I'll see if I can work something out.

That would actually be a nice instructional dvd. Can I place my order for the autographed copy?

I'd like some of those midge emergers you tie with bungie cord and black foam. Daysaver, that one.

If you come, I have a few that might find their way from my box to yours.

Also...we're going to start the midge discussion part of this clinic wherever the warm fire pits are located. We'll get that going at 10am. Jason's nymphing session will follow that in the section of river right there in front of the parking lot. My guess is Jason's part will start around 10:30 or so.
