I’m pleased to announce my first event for 2014: I will be returning to the Compleat Angler in Darien, CT for another tying demo. This year’s subject will be flies for small streams. Fishing small streams presents a unique set of challenges to the fly angler – and sometimes, fly selection (and size) is the difference maker. “Small Stream Flies for Wild Trout” will cover dries, wets, nymphs, and streamers that will help you build a basic kit for all kinds of waters, from shallow riffles on woodland brooks to deep plunge pools on high-gradient mountain streams. I’ll also discuss tactics and presentation. My demos are highly interactive, whether we’re doing Q&A or just talking fishing. Hope to see you there!
Where: The Compleat Angler, 541 Post Road, Darien, CT, 203-501-1713, compleat-angleronline.com
When: Saturday, March 1, 2014, 10am-2pm
This breathtaking beauty liked the look of a tan caddis skittering across the surface of a remote mountain stream. One of the things we’ll talk about is fly selection — dry or subsurface — and whether to fish up or downstream.
Hard to get to Darien from Michigan, will you be taping the demo for a possible presentation on line to your followers. I am interested in this as I am and old time fly fisher from the New York City area but now a Michigan transplant. Tight Lines, Howard Geller
Yes, that is a bit of a haul.
Howard, I think that’s a terrific idea. Unfortunately, I don’t have a device that would record for that long…and if I did, I can only imagine the horrors it would present to me to edit and download.
I have been saying this for years, but I am really hoping that 2014 is the year I start doing tying videos. Please feel free to threaten me until I do. 🙂
Thanks so much for following currentseams. And thanks for the feedback. I am always interested in hearing what my readers have to say.

Appreciate your support for wet flies.
Well, thanks. Right back atcha. I’m thinking about going small streaming tomorrow with something wet…
