***THESE SLIDES ARE FROM MY "STILLWATER" KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS THAT I DO AT FLY FISHING CLUBS PRESENTATIONS, FLY FISHING SHOWS AND STILLWATER CLINICS. THEY ARE FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND ENJOYMENT BUT NOT TO BE USED IN ANY OTHER FLY FISHING PRESENTATIONS WITHOUT MY CONSENT!
THIS IS WHAT I CALL THE THIRD STAGE OF THE CHIRONOMID LIFE CYCLE THAT I WORK AND IMITATE ABOUT THREE TIMES A DAY, DEPENDING HOW MANY HATCHES YOU WILL GET AT YOUR PARTICULAR STILLWATER. AT CROWLEY, YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY AS THREE FULL BLOWN HATCHES EACH DAY, DEPENDING HOW MUCH TIME YOU WANT TO PUT ON THE WATER.
AS PROMISED EACH WEEK I WOULD TRY TO UPDATE MY BLOG AND THIS MONTH I WILL BE FOCUSING ON THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE CHIRONOMIDS LIFE CYCLE AND MY PHILOSOPHY ON HOW I ATTACK EACH STAGE OF THE CHIRONOMID LIFE CYLCE. OF COURSE EVERYONE FEELS AND FISHES DIFFERENTLY AND THATS FINE, I APPRECIATE AND RESPECT EVERYONES DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND STYLES OF FISHING. THIS IS AN AMAZING BUG THAT IS MORE THAN 50% OF A TROUTS YEARLY FOOD SOURCE IN A STILLWATER ENVIRONMENT. HOPE YOU ENJOY AND FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY BLOG POSTS.
THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FLY FISHERS 2016 FLY FISHING FAIRE IN BISHOP ON OCTOBER 14-16 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

MY CLINIC WILL BE ON SUNDAY FROM 8AM TO 12PM I WILL BE PRESENTING "CHIRONOMIDS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM" WHICH WILL BE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BREAK DOWN OF CHIRONOMID FISHING. I WILL HAVE A 40 MINUTE KEYNOTE PRESENTATION, 1 HOUR OF FLY TYING, 1 HOUR OF LEADERS, FLYLINES, RODS/REELS AND LEADER SETUPS. THEN A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION AFTERWARDS. I WILL ALSO SUPPLY YOU WITH A BEAUTIFUL FULL COLORED BOOKLET THAT YOU CAN TAKE HOME AND USE AS A REFERENCE FOR ANYTHING YOU WILL FORGET IN THE CLASS.
IT MAY JUST BE THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF AUTUMN BUT ITS GETTING CHILLY AT CROWLEY LAKE! THE RIDES OUT ON MY 22' FOOT SKEETER BAY BOAT AT OVER 35 MPH IN THE MORNINGS IS DOWN RIGHT COLD! BRING YOUR EXTRA LAYER OF CLOTHING AND THEN BE PREPARED TO TAKE THEM OFF AFTER 9AM.
