The Fly Fishing Show Somerset
Today, Friday the 27, was opening day for the Somerset Fly Fishing Show. I presented a fly casting class this morning for 8 students. All of us had a great time. My long, and I do mean long, time friend, Ray Oswald, attended the class. Ray and I went to Penn State together, 1962-1966, and fished around the state. He lives in eastern Pennsylvania, now and fishes the Little Lehigh, the Broadheads, and others in the region. The class learned the Foundation Casting Stroke, the Elliptical Stroke, wrist casting, arm casting, thee Three Point Grip, Reach Mends, Hauling, and a whole bunch more. They did great! Ray and I s spend some time together touring the Show before Ray had to get back home and I had to give a Power Point on “Long Flies.” The crowd was heavy today—more like a Saturday than a Friday. It was great to see so many people out and excited about the coming 2012 season.
If you’re in the area, come on out and say “Hi.”
The casting class all did a great job with new ideas and techniques.
Today's crowd was large and very enthusiastic.
There's a lot to do at the show. This is my good friend, Michael Mauri, demonstrating Spey Casting.
