Shopping at the Forum

I drove out to Burlington this morning to check out the IWFFC Fly Fishing Forum. This year, I didn't go to any of the seminars, although I was tempted by Jim McLennan talking about Alberta trout streams. I did do a little shopping. I bought a dun neck from Keough's, a grizzly hen neck, several boxes of hooks, some dubbing wax, a little CDC and a few other odds and ends.

I also chatted for a while with a few of the guys who fish the Credit River.

It's almost time to go fishing.

Canadian Fly Fishing forum

It's been a while since I have posted here, but then again, it's been a while since there has been any fly fishing happening around these parts. I see the flyer is out for the Canadian Fly Fishing Forum, scheduled for April 14 & 15 at the Holiday Inn in Burlington.

There will be some interesting seminars this year. Two that look particularly appealing to me are Fly Fishing Opportunities in Michigan, given by Ron Barch, and Trout Streams of Alberta, given by Jim McLennan, who has in fact written the book on this topic. The Forum is put on by the Izaac Walton Fly Fishing Club. Follow the link to their website for more info about the club and the Forum.
