In this 10 week course learners will be introduced to fish biology, aquatic ecosystems, types of lures, determining which lures to use, and how to make their own lures.

Class experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Note, for safety the following should always be at hand:
Safety Glasses - used as a safety precaution against flying wood chips and dust
Dust Mask - used as a safety precaution against airborne saw dust
Work Gloves - used to provide secure grip when sanding and drilling
Nitrile/Latex Gloves - used to prevent paint, epoxy, and EnviroTex from contacting skin

Class One: How Weather Influences Fish Behavior
- No supplies needed.

Class Two: What Fish Eat
- No supplies needed.

Class Three: Surveying the Ecosystem
- Workbook will be provided at class time.

Class Four: Bottle Cap Spinner
- The most basic bottle cap lures need only a bottle cap (your local will have hundreds of these that they will happily let you have) a hook, traditionally a treble, something to join them together such as wire or split rings and some weight to help it sink. The weight can be anything from large shot to gravel as it will be hidden inside the cap in the finished article. You may also like to incorporate swivels to attach your line to and stop it twisting when retrieving a cast.
- Tools needed include pliers (needle nose and normal), wire cutters,, drill with 2mm bit for metal, tin snips (if cutting your own blades) OR lure blades, nail or similar for forming loops in the wire.

Class Five: Spoon Lure
- Inexpensive thin stainless-steel teaspoon or tablespoon (usually found at a thrift store), vise (nice to have but we can work without it), hacksaw, hammer, center punch, drill, drill bit, flat metal file, medium-grit emery cloth, needle nose pliers, kitchen cleanser, toothpaste, two split rings, swivel (to keep your line from twisting), treble hook, two pieces of wood

Class Six: Cork Bug Lure
- 1 wine cork, 1 razor blade (or x-acto knife), 1 emery board, 1 darning needle, 1 tube of 5-minute epoxy, 1 package of silicon fly-tying legs (aka "sili legs"), 1 package of holographic or stick-on eyes, fly-tying thread, hooks

Class Seven: Wooden Top Water Popper
- Poplar carving wood (you can find small pieces, about 2 or 3 inches at your local craft store), epoxy, sealer, paint, coping saw, sanding block, 150 grit sandpaper, electric drill with 1/32 inch drill bit, metal screw eyes, split rings, treble hooks

Class Eight: Penny Lure
- penny, medium-sized paperclip, some beads, a treble hook, small hammer (rounded if you have it), scrap wood block, electric drill with 1/32 inch drill bit

Class Nine: Fly Lures
- No materials needed (we will be covering the basics, but not making flies as it takes a special clamp you may or may not want to purchase after the session)

Class Ten: Marshmallow Bait Mix
- Marshmallows (mini), 4 ziploc bags, scents of your choice (you can get these in your local store or online), and bait dye (optional) 
Any session where we are creating lures students should have supervision as tools can be dangerous when mishandled.
