CTFishTalk.com: Thinking of Taking an Orvis Class in the spring - Connecticut Fly Fishing ( CT Fly Fishing ) - A Community Built for Connecticut Fisherman.

Does anybody here have any experience or thoughts on the Orvis school at Sandanona? It's just down the road from me, so I think I'm gonna give it a shot. I know I've scoffed at the fly community before, but fishing all last season for smallies on an ultralight with 4 pound test has given me some new appreciation for fly fishing. I thought maybe I'd give it a shot this season. So, anybody here, member or lurker, gone to sandanona? Worth the $? Two days for about 450 bucks.

Thanks!

Lyman
