January Speaker - Steve Culton
The Little Things"If you want to catch more fish, pay more attention to the little things"
|
|
|
We all understand that fly-fishing basics such as casting are important, but it is also attention to the small details of fishing like stream current, insects, and tackle that can determine success or failure. Steve will share his insights with us.
