Rockwell Springs Trout Club
Yesterday and today I was conducting a fly fishing clinic at the Rockwell Springs Trout Club near Sandusky, OH. It’s a great facility and great club. I was here many years ago, and it’s nice to come back and see the improvements and positive changes in this 800+ member club. We had two diametrically opposed days. Wednesday was bright and sunny, and we had a great opportunity to get out and practice the Elliptical Stroke, the C-pickup, and other casting niceties. Today was nasty–cold and rainy with no sun. We practiced the Double Haul in the rain. Ah, but so what, we had a great time and learned a great deal about casting and other aspects of fly fishing. There were great sessions on knots, reading waters, nymphing, fishing the film, equipment, and more. We had a great book signing session, and an chance to really dig in with stories, illustrations, and an expose on the smoke and mirrors used for the movie, A River Runs Through it. Thanks again to everyone who attended and to the Club for inviting me to conduct this fun clinic.
Wednesday was a very sunny day–as you can tell from the light flooding into the lecture room. No one complained.
