The Canadian Fly Fisher Magazine is overjoyed to announce that
one of our closest partners, the
FlyTyingForum.com,
is now hosting "Virtual Fly Tying Classes". These
virtual classes are unlike anything that anybody has ever
seen or done before and will quickly revolutionize the way people
learn to tie flies. FTF's mission is to "Unite fly tyers
around the world" and this new program will allow tyers around
the world to learn from one another just as if they were
sitting in the same room!
|
What are "Virtual Fly Tying
Classes"? |
These ground breaking new classes will be done via
special, exclusive software that was developed by FTF. The
class instructor will
plug a camera into a video feed and the students will be able
to see the instructor tie in real-time.
The students will then
be able to communicate with the instructor by plugging in a
microphone or via text in the chat room. The instructor (and
the other students) will be able to hear your questions or
comments and will be able to answer via their own microphone.
The great thing about these classes is that the equipment needed to be an instructor or
a student is very minimal; any basic web cam and microphone
would suffice. Now anybody with some basic cheap equipment can
teach others from around the world how to tie a fly and
everybody can do this from the comfort of their own home -
Truly a revolution in fly tying instruction!
