I have a favor to ask.

I am presenting a new live seminar on saltwater fly fishing at my local fly fishing club.  It is scheduled for a couple weeks from now. I am pretty happy with the presentation content, but want to present the seminar once before then to a small friendly audience to iron out any bugs, get feedback and make sure that I have the right amount of content to fit the time slot.

I was wondering if any members here would be interested in helping me out by attending this trial run via Zoom webinar.   The eventual target audience is expected to have a rudimentary understanding of fly fishing, but I will take whoever is interested.  I think that if you have an interest in fly fishing at any experience level, you will find it useful.

The agenda:

1. Differences Between Saltwater and Freshwater Fly Fishing
2. Gear (Rods, Reels, Fly lines, flies)
3. Knots an Leader Systems
4. Casting Skills and Drills
5. Line Management, Retrieves, Fighting and Landing
6. Go Fishing!  - Local and Remote Destinations

The plan is to keep the presentation under 90 minutes plus time for Q&A

If you are interested in attending the live webinar, please PM me and let me know which of these time slot works for you (you can choose more than one).  I will pick the one that the most folk can attend.

USA times:

Wed May 28  5:00 PM Pacific-PDT (8:00 PM Eastern-EDT)
Wed May 28  8:00 PM Pacific (11:00 PM Eastern)
Thur May 29 5:00 PM Pacific (8:00 PM Eastern)
Thur May 29 8:00 PM Pacific (11:00 PM Eastern)

If there is any interest, I will send a follow-up PM to those that have responded with the meeting instructions.

Here is a sample slide:



Thanks!

Bad scheduling, Precisely the only days I'll be away from home. :-[  ;D

EDIT
I forgot the time difference, I will be home 08h00 the next day 30 May 25 so this could work.

I always get the US times wrong     https://bitl.to/4ZXV

Thanks for the folks that have responded here or via PMs!

The date/time will be: Wed - May 28, 8:00 PM PDT (Thur May 29,3:00 AM UTC)

Cornelius: It looks like you are the time zone outlier The time will be  5:00 AM  Thursday in Pretoria.  I will see about getting you a recording if you are still interested ansd are not keen on getting up that early.

I will be sending out PMs to the attendees with a Zoom meeting link.

For anyone else interested, there is still room. Just send me a PM.

Thanks again!

Thanks for providing south African time ;D   ;D

We should be home, however I will be required to do some chores like unpacking vehicle, and whatever other orders that come my way and don't think I can get behind my computer without incurring serious repercussions that won't be forgotten for a long time.  >:D

Will be nice if you can record it, but otherwise so be it.

Thanks/Dankie ;)

Many thanks to the members that volunteered to attend the webcast and provided feedback.

The feedback was quite useful and was incorporated for the live seminar that I presented to the club last week. The seminar was well received.

Thanks again!
