[size 1]nieve, NO. dalusions of grandure posibly so.[/size]

[size 1]I am not saying that it cant be done, actualy it is done.[/size]
[size 1][/size]
[size 1]if you have an intrest in doing this monthly or by-monthly seminar contact bass pro shop cabellas or gandermountain.[/size]
[size 1][/size]
[size 1]you may even want to contact your local park divisions and let them know you are willing to head up an undertaking of this nature on a split comission.[/size]
[size 1][/size]
[size 1]you have a targeted audiance, I have done the same imprompet interveiws and I have even taken people out and showed them what to do and they even have caught a few record sized fish under my watch. but they would make poor club members, how ever if you are offering a class and you hold it on a peir on a saturday afternoon you may attract the same people back every week for a period of time like a month or two. same in a pro shop.[/size]
the draw back of trying to call in guest speakers is that it cost mega bucks to get these guys to fly out from their prespective homes. the up side is the above mentioned posible sponcors have vidio capabilityies where you can reveiw the works of the masters and then take it to the peir and put it to pratice and vidio your members and come back and compair.
+
the masters you speak of do during the winter and spring months have a different show/seminar every week all across the country. My home town has 4 sprotsmans shows between jan and march. one is going on right now. you would have a hard time compeating in paying thier wages.
=
and yet there is another hand, many of these guys have their own camps that have do repreives during the summer and a club could take advantage of that for far less than hireing him for an hour or two.
so unless you have a bankroll to back up such an endevor I would suggest you find a couple more anglers who would not mind or would like to take the time to share what they know. start small and work up.
the one thing you missed on is there are by far more anglers who would love to learn how to present thier baits, learn the timing of how to set a hook. We as seasoned anglers know different fish hit differently. we know what they like, we even know when it is time to change up and addapt to species changes in habbits.
so I think if you traget a specified audiance even youth groups, they could use a good man to teach them the differacne between a fast and slow action rod and how to tie a snell and polimer knot. and if you had another member who knows his way around a fly rod and can tie a halfway deacent fly then I beleive you can put a group to gether.
there is always an option of doing a local tv series for your local sportsmans channel. You deffenantly want several anglers in your group who have the skills needed to cover different species and methods of fishing.
Ya, I suffer from the same delusions, I teach youth anglers the fine arts of angling in seminars and special youth fishing events targeted in giving youths the feal good fealing about going fishing.
what you are looking to do requires a lot of orginization and deap pockets filled to the brim with fish backs. It can be done, Profitably? maybe if you take it on the road to large audiences.
but emagine having a half dozen anglers in a club and all six of you go out and buy a different lure and every meeting you pass the lure you bought to the angler on the right untill it goes all the way around, you would have someting to discuss at every meeting. were you able to master the lure, did it bomb out on you, how did you present it. what structure and depths did you work it. and so on.... the more members you have in your club the more info you will be able to share.
