Thursday March 12th - Grand River Outfitting and Fly Shop - 6 - 9 pm.
It was 20 years ago that Don helped put the Grand River tailwater on the map with his article in Fly Fisherman Magazine, September of 1995, "Ontario's Grand River" and we thought what better way to celebrate than to have him demonstrate some of his tried and true caddis patterns that have performed for him over the years.
Bring your vise and tie along with Don or just sit back and take notes as this is guaranteed to be an informative tutorial that will greatly improve your success on the Grand River.
This event is limited to 10 students and is available at a rate of $70.00 / person + Hst.
The class will feature all of Don's original caddis patterns: The Hatching Caddis Adult, Hatching Caddis Pupa, Floating Caddis / Mayfly Emerger, Floating Caddis Pupa, plus two more proven and deadly caddis larva patterns. These flies, if you have them in your box, will certify your readiness for most any caddis hatch / situation you encounter. Just have a range of sizes and colors.
