It’s hard to believe that February is just around the corner. The staff are getting ready for our big move at the end of February. However, the boys are excited about the upcoming courses for the month of February.
To start Jason will be getting into the nitty gritty of the local saltwater scene with “Mastering Local Saltwater Salmon Fishing”. If you are getting into the sport of salmon fishing, or want to learn more about the local scene then this course is a must. Benefit from the years of experience Jason has had on the chuck and learn the secrets that makes him a top rod.
And of course the winter steelhead season is in full swing. Our second “Float Fishing for Steelhead” course will be taking place. Jason and Dimitri got their students into fish despite extremely challenging fishing conditions. The knowledge you gain from this course is simply invaluable and won’t be found in any book, dvd, or even online!!!
