Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show 2015 day 3
Today started with a Bible study at 7:45. The group had a good time discussing the Christian role of the Priest of our own life. Then came a 3-hour casting class. The students learned quickly are readily, and we had to end with a too-brief discussion of the Double Haul. But, they did get enough to learn it well if they will take the time to practice as advised. The casting class was followed by a PowerPoint discussion on Reading Waters, and then a book signing.
I had a hour at the end of the day to visit friends quickly—at least to say “Hi”—and spend a few minutes photographing some of Lance Marshall Boen’s incredible leather work. Lane always has something new to show me, and it’s always stunning. I love the Alaskan rainbow with all five of the Pacific salmon embossed on its side. The Catfish living amongst leather beer cans, straps, and other wonderfully crafted bits of bottom detritus, is really a delight. And then there’s the Dorado. Look closely at it side; Lance always has a unique surprise in his pieces. See his site in the links section to the right.
What a delightful piece of artwork—check out the salmon on its side.
Now here’s a catfish! Look carefully at all the detail that lance has built into this incredible piece.
What a delightful piece of totally unique leather artwork. Look carefully at its side.
