It's official!  My Sugar Pop and the Gluttonous Leech fly patterns are now for sale in shops!
They'll also be available on tubes in the coming future along with some new smaller scaled patterns!  Shops that currently carry them are listed below!
Please feel free to pick a few up to try for your local steelhead... I have a feeling they might work.  ;)  If you are fishing with me in BC this year... no excuses!

This course teaches the mechanics of why and how fly-casting operates, allowing students to develop their own style and work towards the common goal of successfully casting an efficient loop.
Students are encouraged to bring their own equipment so as to become familiar with their set-up, however we will provide equipment upon request.
