Tuesday, November 17 - 6:30pm - Fly Tying with Bob Mitchell’s Fly Shop
Have you ever wanted to learn how to tie your own fly and where to catch a fish with it?  This is the clinic for you.  Robert Hawkins, owner of Bob Mitchell's Fly Shop in Lake Elmo Minnesota, will be teaching you how to tie a few fly patterns that work well in our area for trout and bass or panfish.  We will talk about areas to fly fish close to the metro and how to use your fly effectively. All materials will be provided, just show up with limber wrists and your glasses if you have a hard time seeing things close up.  Fly tying is one of those rare things that a machine has not yet been invented for, they are still all tied by hand.  It's fun and a great winter hobby for those long cold nights – even if you don't fish. Class size max 12 people.  Cost $5.00.  Please call store to register 612-339-3433  Expedition Room, Midwest Mountaineering

Wednesday,November 18 - 6:30pm - Climbing 102
A Climbing 101 clinic is a prerequisite for this clinic.  Carolyn Hansen will provide this opportunity to expand your technical skills and help prepare you for more advanced climbing.  We'll review knots, commands, and belaying, along with more in-depth explanations and uses of climbing gear.  Don't worry; we will still have time to climb! Required:  All climbers must have a completed liability waiver on file at Midwest Mountaineering.  Liability waivers expire at the end of the calendar year and must be re-submitted every year. Pre-registration recommended – limited to 10 participants.  Cost $5, no refunds.  Minimum age 15.  612–339–3433  Climbing Cave, Midwest Mountaineering

Wednesday, November 25 - 6:30pm - Gluten Free Myth with Ed Watson
Nearly 20 million American feel stomach or intestinal pain, brain fog, or other symptoms after eating wheat/gluten products; but many have not identified the root cause of continued discomfort, bloating, or other physiological reactions beyond the gut.  Even if this is not your experience, find out the primary reason why elimination diets, specific carb diets, and taking pre or probiotics may all fail to solve the problem at the root - due to a single overlooked condition, which is absurdly simple to understand and easy to fix.  Author and physiologist Ed Watson shows how your body works!  Expedition Room, Midwest Mountaineering
