WESTERN CANADIAN FLY FISHING EXPOSITION

JANUARY 22-24, 2010

IT`S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. JOIN US DOWN AT THE EXPO.
WE`LL HAVE THE NEW SAGE XI3 RODS AVAILABLE TO CAST, AS WELL
AS THE ORVIS HELIOS AND HYDROS RODS.

SOME OF THE STAFF WILL HAVE PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS:
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24 - 12:30 TO 1:30 PM
A SEASON ON THE BOW WITH CAITLIN AND BRENT

SUNDAY, JANUARY 24 - 9 TO 11 AM
FLY DESIGN AND TYING FOR TARPON AND PERMIT
Interactive fly tying workshop that will teach how to design and tie flies for Tarpon and Permit for every flats fishing situation. Workshop targets tiers with intermediate to advanced tying experience. Workshop will cover three of the most successful Tarpon patterns and three of the most effective Permit patterns that Mike has designed, refined, and fished in the salt with success. This workshop will focus on materials, colors, fly behaviour, etc. for different angling situations and tiers will come away with an understanding of “when to fish what” .

Mike owns and operates Country Pleasures Flyfishing in Calgary. He has been flyfishing since the late 70’s, guiding on the Bow through the mid 80’s. He went on his first saltwater flats fishing trip in 1988 and has been pretty much ruined ever since. Over the last number of years he spends between 40 and 60 days a year in the salt, primarily chasing Tarpon and Permit. Mike currently has 11 Grand Slams from different locations around the Caribbean.
