“I’m a novice fly fisher woman. I went into Flyfshing Strategies to get some new leaders. Paul was so friendly and helpful in explaining the different options. He mentioned that they have a fly tying seminar every month so I decided to check it out. Paul chooses a theme like stillwater flies, and clearly describes all the materials, demonstrated the process for tying several flies, and described how to fish them. He is really a talented teacher. There were a couple of other master fly tyers attending who also demonstrated a few more flies, wow! I can’t wait for the next one!”
