Why do we fly fish?
Perhaps it’s the excitement generated watching a monster brown come up from his lair and snatch a bug we invented out of yarn & feather last January. Maybe it’s the challenge of the right cast, the right presentation, the right fly - or maybe it’s just fun to cast and it really looks cool.
It sure beats working!
Whatever your reason for taking up the sport, Lee Davison can teach you the skills and techniques, giving you the confidence to enjoy your personal piscatorial pursuits.
