North
Fork Stilly Steelhead Flyfishing Schools 2007
July 20 or 21
Come
spend a steelhead day on America's very first designated flyfishing waters.
Fished by angling greats such as Zane Grey and Roderick Haig-Brown, the
North Fork of the Stillaguamish, is home of the legendary wild Deer Creek
summer steelhead.
Dennis has flyfished these waters since a boy. Many of the articles and
stories found on this site, are based around his North Fork Stilly experiences
over the past 30 years, as a biologist, guide, and flyfisher.
We will travel by pontoon rafts, while we wade
and fish the many pools along a secluded North Fork canyon 5 mile float.
The morning will focus on the wetfly swing, useful throughout the year.
Anglers will get to demo the Yancy multi-tip system. You don't have a
rod? No problem! Use one of ours.
In the afternoon, we will switch gears and learn tackle and techniques
including our Floating Line Heads specifically designed for surface steelhead
flyfishing. Demo's of course.
Surface presentations will include grease lining, riffle hitching, emerging
nymphs, skaters and bombers and much more. Anglers will learn the life
history of the steelhead , preferred holding waters, and how to effectively
approach each of them. Surface flies are the rule for these fall returners!
Dennis will teach you techniques that help you catch anadromous fish from
Alaska to northern California.
Of course, anglers will be treated to a streamside lunch while Dennis
demonstrate a couple of his pet summer fly patterns. Come spend a day,
see what legends are made of.
Dates: July 20 or 21 - these are single day Flyfishing Schools.
What to bring: Waders, notebook* Lecture notes are provided! , rod (some
provided but ask), licenses, water, and enthusiasm! Classes are typically
8 to 10 hours long.
