Garnet is a river fly fisher. He loves rowing his drift boat down the Bow River or heading into Montana to enjoy some days on the Missouri River with friends. Garnet shared three excellent fly patterns that he uses a lot when on the Bow or Missouri when he is nymphing. Garnet knows "what works" and he was kind enough to share some winning nymphs if you can present them at the right depth with a drag free drift! We also spent some time looking at how to set up a home made nymphing system. I added some animated knots that will help you make your own leaders. Thanks for the delightful evening Garnet!
This Saturday at 12 noon is the IF4 Film Festival in Olds. You can get tickets RIGHT HERE!
Next week, Larry Prowse is our guest tyer. This is our final tying session of the season. See you then.
