Hi Everyone!
Rick Miyauchi was our guest instructor tonight. Rick showed the gang 2 of his favourite shrimp patterns and he took the time to share how to fly fish shrimp. It was a very educational evening and the 24 fly fishers who took in Rick's session tonight learned a lot about shrimp patterns and how to fly fish with those patterns.
Rick has divided his session into two parts and he will continue with his presentation on March 3rd!
Don't forget the special presentation this Thursday night at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre. Retired biologist and environmentalist, Lorne Fitch will be our special guest. Wine and cheese at 6 ish and his presentation is at 7 pm. There is no charge to take in the presentation!
Next week Karen, Doug and Bob will be doing a special presentation on Cree Lake. Big pike, lake trout and arctic grayling. We will also be tying some pike flies and learning how to make your own pike leaders.
See you Thursday night!

Bathometric Maps are so useful when you get to a lake. Looking for structure will always be a key to how you set up on the lake!
