Programs and Fly Casting Demos for Fly Fishing
I have several programs for speaking engagements and clinics. Programs and fly casting demos have been popular for various TU, IFFF clubs, schools, conclaves, fly fishing shows and other angling events throughout the country. Below are a few of the presentations I have used in the past for clinics and banquets. Call to discuss having a program tailored to your event.
PowerPoint Presentations
1. “Water Reading for the Fly Fisher” is an in-depth look at subtle clues of where the fish hold and why. This is for moving water and still waters.
2. “Nymph Fishing Tactics” includes the many varieties of competition fishing tactics for subsurface patterns from the bottom to the top.
3. “Fishing the surface” includes the many tactics of aerial mends and line control for pulling off longer drifts for the dry fly enthusiast.
4. “Tailwater Fishing” is an in-depth look at the differences a tailwater fishery offers over a freestone fishery.
5. “Montana fly fishing” is a show on the various rivers and creeks of the famous western state.

7. “The Keys for Taking Really BIG Trout” is a show on how to consistently catch higher numbers of exceptional trout.
8. “New Zealand Magic” is a show pointing out the various diversities the country has to offer with plenty of BIG fish shots.
9. “Fly fishing Primer” is a program which discusses all aspects of the sport of fly fishing from food organisms to casting.
10. “Casting Diagnostics” is designed to teach the elements of understanding various casts. It is used for instructors of fly casting.
11. “Modern wet fly tactics” for the fly fisher is a new program that I used in Winston Salem for the fly fishing show in 2016.

Fly Fishing Clinics or Demo’s
1. “An Exercise of Line Control” is a clinic designed to cover many exercises for improving your line control on the stream. These exercises are used after the cast to enhance a desired float on the water.
2. ” Casting Angles” is a casting clinic that I use often for teaching the myriad methods of learning curves and piles with the available surroundings on the water.
3. “Change of Direction Casts” is another casting clinic that I use for teaching many of the Spey casting strokes to the single-handed fishers. This clinic opens up many new methods for dealing with obstructions.
4. “Attractor Fly Tying” demo for your fly tying.
