2pm Fly Fishing for Carp - A 20lb Fish Near Home

If you haven’t stalked a carp with your fly rod yet you are missing out.  Most of us have them in the neighborhood.  They are often huge, always spooky and present the ultimate presentation challenges.  They are perfectly designed to test even the best fly fishing skills.

Join Jeff as he teaches you about the different species of carp found here in the US.  Learn the tricks for finding them and what their feeding behaviors are.  Find out what size rods and reels you need to target them.  Best of all Jeff will show you his favorite flies and tactics he uses to fool these elusive giants.

4pm Streamer Tricks for More and Larger Trout

When Jeff arrived on the scene in Jackson Hole, Wyoming back in 1987 he was a dry fly fishing purist. He nymphed and tossed streamers on occasion but he spent most of his time at places like the Henry’s Fork targeting the best hatches. As Jeff made friends and found older mentors he picked up on the fact that they often caught bigger trout with streamers so he began learning the art of streamer fishing for himself.

It didn’t take long for Jeff to become proficient with the streamers and soon he was tweaking techniques. Some of his tricks worked so well that other anglers came to him with their questions – especially after he won the famous Jackson Hole One Fly with a streamer!

Join Jeff as he talks about the equipment he likes from rods to lines to picking the right fly, how to rig multiple flies, stripping speeds and overall methods.

Please join us on Saturday April 26th!  The event is free and we will have ample seating.  Enjoy one or more presentations as Jeff is one of the best in the business!  The taps will be flowing and we will have some light snacks on hand as well.  Come early for the best seats and a chance to chat with Jeff or purchase one of his great gifts.
