Pleasanton CA 2-27-2010

Saturday is always a wild and crazy day at the shows, as people pack the isles and fill the seminar rooms. I did a casting class in the morning, followed by a casting demonstration, a nymphing program, and a fly tying session. I tied a series of Down and Dirty leeches and Down and Dirty […]

Mike opened with “Fly Fishing Approach and Presentation […]
