Fly Fishing Seminar: Tactics for Spring Trout

Description

This program will focus on fly fishing for spring trout. Topics we will cover include: how to read the water to anticipate where fish will be, life cycle of the aquatic insects’ fish like to feed on and how you can imitate them to increase your chances of success.
