when: May 15 2008, 7:30 pm
details: Our speakers for May are Ben Byng and Steve Potter and their presentation is about fly fishing for Black Bass in the Delta and back waters - our back yard.  They will also discuss hand carved balsa wood poppers and deer hair flies, much desired by said Bass.
 
Ben has been fishing since he was a young boy and his grandfather took him on many journeys from the Great Lakes to the Florida Keys.  His father took him on trips to fish the small streams and high mountains of Eastern Idaho.  Now that he lives near the California Delta, he has spent hours fishing this 1,200 mile waterway.  Ben helped Andre Puyans with his Fly-Fishing Seminars in Eastern Idaho at Elk Creek Ranch and worked his way to becoming Operations Manager.  In 2006 he became a fly fishing instructor for both Wilderness Unlimited and BOW (Becoming an Outdoor Woman).  Ben also ties flies at the International Sportsmen's Expos and the fly fishing shows on the West Coast.
 
Steve's father introduced him to fly fishing with a kit purchased overseas in the 1960s.  His wife, Linda, gave him a fly tying kit about 15 years ago and he has been tying flies ever since.  Steve regularly ties for fly shows in the western US and the International Sportsmen's Expos.  He is a member of the Tracy Fly Fishers and is a proud member of the Daiichi Pro Team.
 
This should be an entertaining and instructive presentation and we look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
