Talks, shows and articles
 
I regularly give talks and/or flytying demonstrations to fly tying and fishing clubs.  The following talks are available, either as slide shows on their own, or combined with a fly tying demonstration:
 
  • Salmon fishing in Alaska (with or without fly tying)
  • Salt water flyfishing (with or without fly tying)
  • Competition flyfishing flies and tactics
  • Whiting Farms road show
  • "Flies that catch" - a selection of my favourite patterns
 
I can also provide fly tying demonstrations tailored to your request.  Please contact me for further details. 
 
In addition, you can come and watch me tie flies or just have a chat at the events listed below.  I'm always happy to talk to anyone with an interest in fishing or flies!
