Wayne's World of Fly Fishing


It is always fun to have new presenters show fly patterns that they love to use. Wayne McElderry is a long time member of the Central Alberta Fly Tyers. Wayne shared three patterns that he loves to use in his pursuit of trout! One of the patterns tonight, Wayne's Hoe, is Wayne's own design. It is nice to see the creative juices flowing Wayne! I love all three patterns that Wayne introduced including Don Freschi's Purple Prince and Syd Reiter's Ghost! Thanks for being a presenter Wayne. I hope you share some more of your favourite fly patterns next year!
