Dover Bay Student Classes Over a period of a few short weeks the IWFF's members (organized by Leo Snye) spent 4 separate days giving a group of about 30 students at Dover Bay an introduction to fly fishing. Sessions on fly tying, casting and theory along with the intricacies of knot tying were presented to each student. Below are posted a group of photos documenting the good days along with the bad.
