Ever stuck on a river or lake and wished you had a slightly different pattern, size, color, or just something different than what everybody else is fishing? Learning to tie may be one option. Please join Dan and Frank to learn tying basics like thread control, working with different materials, finishing a fly, and learning some basic tips and tricks. This workshop will run for four sessions starting on March 6 (other sessions are 4/3, 5/1 & 6/5). Cost is $50 and the class limit is 8. All materials provided and tools and vises will be available should you need them.
Registration will open on January 30th. Hope you can join us!
Tight lines,
Dan & Frank
Put your bobbers away! Have you wondered about fly fishing beyond the world of trout? Like maybe largemouth bass? Most of us know Luk Lake as a trophy sized trout fishery, but is also an amazing springtime largemouth bass fishery.
This will be a great introduction for pursuing largemouth bass using 7-8wt fly rods with bass flies and poppers that resemble frogs. This workshop will be a primer for spring bass fishing and the upcoming Luk Lake Fishout on April 18th-19th. You do not need to be going to the fishout to attend the workshop or learn something new.
We will be discussing:
· Why fish for bass in the spring?
· Equipment you will need (Rod, line and leaders)
· Bass fly patterns: Dahlberg Diver, Rainy’s Ratllin’ Popper, and more
· Techniques for “Lilypad fishing” and additional stillwater techniques
There will be follow up Luk Lake pre-fishout meeting on the April 3rd workshop that will cover:
· Bass flies provided for the trip
· Building you own bass leaders (materials provided)
· Doctoring up the Dalhberg Diver to improve its movement in the water
John Murphy (Fishout Leader) and John Chung will be leading the workshops
Native Putah Creek fisherman and guide, Johnny Feaster will be joining us to discuss the Putah Creek opener, the history of Creek, its trophy trout fishing techniques, shore access and annual voluntary closure that protects this unique local fishery from the pressures of being located between both the Bay Area and Sacramento valleys.
Allen Cary will be facilitating monthly fly casting instruction for all levels and skills development program casting course set-up for assessments. Come to simply practice your stroke or to attempt to earn your bronze, silver, and gold casting levels. Get out to practice your one-handed casting stroke or test your casting in the skills course and work to improve your distance and accuracy.
In order to graduate through the program casters need to complete a series of specific casts and casting requirements at different distances within certain target ranges. Members of the Skills Development Committee will be on hand to observe and assist casters. PFF is committed to instructing and graduating as many club members as possible. Come out and test your casting stroke and see where you can take your skills. All members welcome!
