Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Presentations

Fly fishing and tying are about getting to your next level, and that is best done through experience and vetted information. I am excited to help others learn more about these great topics, and have been fortunate to be involved in many seminars, presentations, banquet talks, fly tying classes, Trout Unlimited groups and everything else in between.

*NEW* Zoom presentations now available online, and I have presented virtually over 100 (ONE HUNDRED!) times.

Presentations include high-quality images and stories that everyone in the audience can connect to. From PowerPoint slideshows, tying demonstrations, and interactive hands-on demos, I’ll meet the needs of your group. Topics cover a range, from European nymphing techniques, fishing emergers, tying guide-style flies, and traveling to destinations around the world!
