Euro Nymphing - Session 1: Classroom Instruction
These sessions are designed for beginner to intermediate fly fishers that wish to learn and improve their skills with Euro nymphing techniques. The course is a complete series which includes a 3-hour classroom session on Wednesday, March 2nd; a Euro fly tying session on Monday, March 16th; and two on-stream sessions on Saturday, March 27th and Tuesday, April 12th to practice and refine euro skills with individual instruction by multiple instructors. On-stream sessions may not be registered for separately as leader construction, setup, approach, and basic skills will only be covered in the classroom setting. Devin Olsen will be speaking once again at the May Club meeting (Thursday May 5th) on Advanced Euro Techniques as a follow-up to his recent basic presentation.
Please note that you only need to register for this first session, which includes all other sessions including the practical on-stream events.

TVFF Cancellation Policy
To sign-up for a TVFF Event that is currently open for registration and chargeable (as set by the Fishmeister), you must both register and pay online, or via check or cash, within two weeks of registering (sent to the TVFF Treasurer) whatever fee is described for that particular Event (trip) at the time of registration. There may be multiple payments required before the trip is actually taken (usually in the case of expensive trips), but it is necessary that you do make payment in the above timely fashion for the initial amount to secure your position on the trip. However, please note that you are still responsible for the entire amount of the trip if you should need to cancel.
Once you are registered, there are no refunds for chargeable Events and trips. In the situation that a member is, for any reason unable to attend, they may resell their registration slot to another TVFF member (by first pulling from the waitlist if one exists). New participants must come first from the waitlist in the order they signed up. The member cancelling is fully and solely responsible for contacting potential members to replace them and notifying the appropriate Fishmeister.
If an event/trip is fully registered and closed to registration, you may still sign up on the Wait List to be notified if there are any cancellations. In such a case of registering provisionally on the Wait List, you do not have to pay until such time that you clear the Wait List and are confirmed for participation.
