Green on the Stream!!!

The Family and I spent the day at Tuolumne regional park for the Green on the Stream festival in support of the Tuolumne River Trust Foundation. I was there representing our club Stanislaus Fly Fishers along with our President Derald & other fellow members Brian, Tom & James. I was the resident tier for the day while the other members assisted the festival goers in the art of fly casting. The event was chalked full of vendors from Vegan bakers to roller derby girls and some really great local bands. I was entertaining our visitors with my fly tying skills while still taking in all the great energy from the bands on stage. I was really surprised in how many people are intrigued by fly fishing as well as fly tying. I have only been tying seriously for the last two months and it felt good to see our veteran fly fisherman admiring my work. Our President Derald was impressed with my birds nest nymphs so I gave him 3 patterns to use on his next trip. The only requirement is to take photos of the fish he catches on my flies.
Here is a few photos of us doing what we do best...sharing our passion for Fly Fishing!!





































All in all it was a great day!! I will catch all you cats next time...Back on the Fly!!!
