We would love to present one of our POWER POINT programs to your group.

Cold Weather Fishing 

Dont get cabin fever. Fish! 

Use winter holidays as benchmarks so you know what to expect during the cold weather. (water  levels, flow, temperature, patterns, hatches, tactics and tackle. 

We will provide cold weather tips which will result in a comfortable productive day of cold weather fly-fishing.

FISHING THE LITTLE LEHIGH

Join us on a tour of Pennsylvania's famous "Little Lehigh," from it's origin in the farmland and meadows of Berks County through the Allentown parks system to it's confluence with the Lehigh River.  

As we travel downstream on this famous limestoner we will observe the most intense population of wild trout in Pennsylvania, as we discuss presentation, fly design, tricos and midge fishing.

FISHING THE CUSHION 

The Heritage Section of the Little Lehigh supports the largest population of wild trout in Pennsylvania. An angler that can catch wild fish can catch stocked fish, but the casual angler is usually confined to catching stockies.

Trout do most of their feeding on the bottom (the cushion); prudent anglers obtain the knowledge necessary to penetrate the diverse currents below the surface to reach the bottom.

Rod will present an understandable explanation of the streams food organisms. He will discuss how their life cycles affect the anglers choice of patterns and tackle for bottom fishing.

He will provide a clear understanding of opportunistic and selective feeding and how these phenomenons apply to the bottom fisherman and fly selection.

This POWER POINT presentation will provide participants a clear understanding of tackle, tactics and fly selection necessary to catch bottom feeders.

FISHING THE FILM

Stop settling for hatchery trout. Learn the secrets to fishing the film and fool the Little Lehighs persnickety, stream bred trout.

This POWER POINT presentation will provide participants a clear understanding of tackle, tactics and fly selection necessary to catch surface feeders during hatch and non hatch periods.

Bugs

No not that Bugs,

these bugs; 

Resistance by anglers to the entomology of fly-fishing is baffling for two reasons: one, because entomology is so vital to angling success; and two, because it is so easy. It is a way for even a beginner to understand the movements and preferences of the fish. (Gary Borger)

 Stop being confused by aquatic insects. Rod will provide an easy, entertaining   understandable approach to entomology for the Fly Fisherman.
