Cree Lake is a trophy fishery. Tonight we looked at slides and video from a trip that happened late last June. Doug Pullan then did a presentation about making your own leaders at a fraction of the cost of a bought leader. Finally we tied three flies for pike. Details of the flies are below.
Next week we will be tying articulated flies. Bring white UTC 140 or 210 thread (6/0 or 3/0)
See you next week!
My first trip to Cree Lake was a canoe trip close to 25 years ago.
Building Your Own Leader
by
Doug Pullan
Doug did an excellent presentation on making a titanium leader. Take a look at the materials below that you need to build your own.
Cut a 17 inch length of titanium leader wire, install a swivel at one end and use a crimping tool (and crimping sleeves) to fasten. Then the fastener for the flies are installed at the other end using the same procedure.
