Tonight was the last fly tying session of the season. Steve Luethi was our guest instructor and the West River Fly Shop was filled to capacity to take it his presentation!
Steve Luethi loves to tie big streamers and that is exactly what he needed to fish for the much sought after Dorado in Argentina. Dorado are hard fighting fish that have amazing colours and can get to over 40 pounds. They are aggressive and will attack a big streamer and just about rip it right off of your line. Steve showed the gang two excellent patterns that he used to cast to dorado. The first one is called TK's Eldorado Deceiver and the second fly is a "diver" called TK's Eldorado Diver.
Thanks Steve for the excellent instruction. I know our local pike will attack these flies.
