2015 Saturday Seminar Lineup
Country Pleasures is pleased to announce the initial line-up for Saturday Seminars for 2015. We believe this is the best lineup ever. Each Saturday at 10:00 a.m. we host a free seminar on a fly fishing topic. We hope you can come and participate.
Seminars are scheduled as follows:
January 17 - Bow River Guide Patterns
Jeff Thomson and Kevin Peterson will show their favorite patterns for the
Bow. Comprehensive seminar outlining how, when, and where to fish
these patterns.
January 24 - **Stillwater Secrets with Brent Schlenker**
Improve your presentation skills on Lakes. New tips and techniques for
Stillwaters as well as the equipment set up for locating large fish. He will
also tie a few new patterns that will hook you up to some great fish.
Interactive seminar for beginners to advanced anglers.
January 31 - Streamer Fishing
We have a ton of people come into the shop and say they don’t really
get streamer fishing and don’t do well at it. This seminar, presented by
Mike Gifford, will show you how to do it properly. Techniques, gear, and
flies for wade or drift fishing.
February 7 - Missouri River Primer
The Missouri River offers some great fishing within a fairly reasonable
distance as an alternative to our fisheries. Blair Yerxa spends a lot of
time on the “Mo”. Blair will outline seasons, flies, gear, times to go,
everything you need to know to fish the Mo.
February 14 - Family Day Weekend- No Seminar
February 21 - Spey Explained
Terry Antoniuk and Kelly Robertson cover everything Spey. Keeping it
simple, they explain rods, reels, lines, and tips. Ideal seminar for those
wanting to give it a try as well as those who just need someone to make
sense of it all.
February 28 - **Stillwater Primer with Phil Rowley**Special seminar event!
Phil shows everything you need to know to be successful fishing stillwaters.
Patterns, techniques, you name it. Better get here early for this one.

know. Come and check out his effective and absolutely beautifully tied
flies for these fish.
March 14 - Flats Fishing Hot Points
Mike Gifford will go through his favorite flies for Bonefish, Tarpon,
Snook, and Permit. He will also explain proper gear and leader setups
for all of these species and outline some better strategies for catching
the main four flats species.

this part of the world.
March 28 - **Phil Rowley-Bugs for Stillwater**
