Happy New Year Everybody!
What a great turnout tonight! West River Fly Shop was filled to capacity to take in Bob and Karen's presentation on the Colorado Cutthroat Slam! It was part of their quest to catch all subspecies of cutthroat trout! Bob and Karen have now caught 8 of the 11 subspecies of cutthroat trout! Only 3 maybe 4 to go (depends on genetics of cutthroat in one area of Colorado)!
Take a look at the links below to see their adventures in Colorado:
After the presentation, the group worked on tying John Kent's signature fly, the Pumpkinhead, along with Glen's Leech, a great micro leech that seems to work just about everywhere there are trout! I even know a fly fisher in Vermont that claims that they work great on steelhead!
Next week, Dan Reaman is our guest tyer. You will not want to miss Dan's presentation!
Finally, we have 27 signed up for Phil Rowley's all day workshop on February 2nd. Get ahold of Bob (bob.vanderwater@rdpsd.ab.ca) to sign up. See the details at the bottom of this post!
