Saturday Seminar - January 31

This week's seminar. Starts at 10 AM.

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 techniques to make streamer fishing easier. 

Techniques, gear, and flies for wade or drift fishing.

 All seminars start at 10:00 am and will end between 11:00 and noon. There is no charge and no pre-registration required. Simply drop by the shop and enjoy the seminar.

What's In Your Box

Mike Gifford's Streamer Box

"Like my other boxes, I use the M-Series because it fits my pack and it's light. I store flies in large storage boxes and re-supply my day use boxes for my fanny pack as needed. I have eclectic tastes in streamers. I prefer big flies ( I'll often use Steelhead Patterns) on floating lines fished as fast as I can move them, but when the fish aren't in to that I'll switch to Clousers, Geek Leeches, and 1/4 Pound Buggers.
If I can stay with the floating lines, great, but if high water or fish moods dictate I'll switch up to a 200 or 250 grain Streamer Express. The Express lines work great for getting the fly right in front of their faces."

A Fly Swimming

Here's a video of a fly Brent tied.

Be sure to stop by for our seminars that start in November, or learn to tie this fly yourself by signing up to our fly tying schools, which start October 22nd.

check out the website for more information on both seminars and tying schools.
