PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE FLY TYING LESSONS WITH MIKE SCHMIDT
Want to learn some new patterns, or tired of 'that' material or technique give you problems, then give
me a call. On very short notice we can set up a customized workshop tailored to your specific tying
needs. All workshops will be held at my home in Dublin Ohio, unless a larger venue or travel is required
and set up in advance. Each person attending the workshop will leave with printed out and detailed
step by step document on which they can also make notes throughout their workshop. Students will
have to bring a vise and tools, but all tying materials necessary for each workshop will be provided. It is
encouraged that all students stay in contact after their workshop so I can continue to work with them on
what occurred in the class to round out the experience.
I am always available for former students via phone, email, or Skype!

Private one hour workshop is $45 for one student
Private three hour workshop is $125 for one student
Semi-private one hour workshops are $65 for two students or $80 for three students
Semi-private three hour workshops are $170 for two students or $205 for three students
**please call for pricing on full day workshops or semi-private groups over three
