Tim will present: Rising to the Occasion: Mastering Dry Flies & Emergers.

Tips, techniques, and gear will be discussed to identify the stages, fish them more successfully, and purchase or tie flies to effectively match the nuances of each. Tim also shares current flies and techniques to imitate the stages, helping you to catch more trout.
