Presentations:
Glenn Weisner and Wayne Samson are available
for Monthly Club Meetings, Banquets, and Fly-Fishing Group
Presentations & Demonstrations by appointment.
Our "custom" presentations feature digital
quality photography, Power Point format and "computer based projection"
system for display purposes. We spend a lot of time on the water fly
fishing and we enjoy sharing our experiences with others. Are we foremost
leading experts? Nope. Certified entomologists? Not hardly.
But, as they say on TV ..."we stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last
night".............
Simply stated- our goal is to build "presentations"
and "demonstrations" that are both enjoyable and informative.
Presentations available as of 2012
- A View of England-
travel with Glenn and Wayne and visit the famed Angling Fair of
Chatsworth and visit numerous legendary private waters with our good friend
Oliver Edwards including the River Itchen, River Meon, River Avon and the
River URE fly-fishing for trout and grayling.................the
presentation will introduce you to the culture, countryside and people
leaving you with a flavor of things across the pond.
Target audience- this presentation is for a
diverse audience who like to travel, fly-fish and learn a little about the
history of the sport as well as how they live across the pond.
- Terrestrials-
this is a presentation includes a nice mixture of "bug" information,
fly-fishing commentary and fly patterns all focused on land born insects
known as- Terrestrials- the important bug when there is no "hatch".
We cover Ants; Beetles; Crickets; Grasshoppers; Lady Bugs and Damsel &
Dragon flies with fun facts and practical fishing applications for warm and
cold water fish. We continue to add photos, fly patterns and fishing
situations to this presentation on an annual basis.
Target audience- this presentation is mainly for
a fly-tying & fly-fishing audience desiring to learn more about
Terrestrials.
- South
Central Pennsylvania- travel with Glenn and Wayne and visit the
historical area of South Central PA famous for lime stone streams and last
names such as Fox and Marinaro. Take a look at numerous
legendary waters with our good friend Tom Baltz including the famed LeTort,
the Yellow Breeches, the "Run" @ Boiling Springs and a few "no namers that
we have to blind fold you to take you to....." We
attempt to introduce you to a smattering of the history and probably will
peak your curiosity while sharing fishing techniques and tactics of the
legendary lime stone spring creek region.
Target audience- this presentation is VERY
fly-fishing based and features commentary on several streams more as an
introduction to the area for those who have not fished SOUTH central
Pennsylvania.
- A View of Crooked Island and the
Saltwater- travel with Glenn and Wayne and
visit the virtually uninhabited island of Crooked Island in the Bahamas.
Armed with big sticks, suntan lotion, sunglasses and absolutely no
experience on saltwater we were guided by our very close friend Chris Helm
(a regular to the salt) and of course the locals who kept saying to Glenn
..."hey maaaan...those TROUT moves will not work down here maaaan".....
Our goal of this presentation is to introduce you to the world of salt, the
elements, the quarry, the gear & clothing, the people and the way of
life that will surely captivate you.
Target audience- this presentation is VERY
fly-fishing related and is basically a "destination" presentation for those
wishing to learn more about the small, seemingly primitive, out island and
it's wonderful people and fishing opportunities.
- Working with CDC-
this popular DEMONSTRATION (not a slide show format) is both informative and practical. Our goal
is to conduct a full length demonstration featuring CDC. We will talk
about CDC as a material, where it comes from, it's characteristics, where to
purchase it and what determines good quality from poor. We will
demonstration tie (on a projected screen) several CDC fly patterns
showcasing the CDC Feather Rolling Tool and the CDC Magic Tool.
We will talk about specific fishing applications for each pattern tied.
We will discuss the various "floatants" and "cleaning agents" available in
the market place. And finally, we will attempt to demonstrate rather
convincingly both the productive powers of CDC as well as the ease of
restoring CDC while on the stream fishing.
Target audience- this DEMONSTRATION is for a
fly-tying audience primarily and a fly-fishing audience secondarily.
NOTE- several clubs have asked us to
build this demonstration into a group tying workshop which we have
gladly done. (contact for pricing if your group or club has an
interest)
- A View of the
Private Spring Creek Waters of
Ohio- travel with Glenn and
Wayne as we introduce you to the precious Spring Creek venues found in
north western Ohio. Your trip begins in the historical
Castalia, Ohio on the banks of the famous Cold Creek which bubbles from
beneath the earth's surface. As you travel downstream you will make
stops at the prestigious Castalia Club, the Ohio State Fish Hatchery, OI's
Millsite Farms and finally the Sunnybrook Trout Club. Each stop
will detail the beauty of this region and detail the fishing clubs which
have evolved over time. Whether it's the steeped traditions of
the Castalia Club, the Blue Holes & steelhead of the Fish Hatchery,
the unique blend of the corporate and natural feel of Millsite or the
realism of Sunnybrook something is sure to capture your attention.
The final stop will be RockWell Springs Trout Club where you will see yet
another water source and enjoy the beauty of the tree guarded property. Each stop's history,
layout, people and fish will be part of your journey.
Target audience- this presentation is for anyone
who desires to learn more about the region and it's fly-fishing venues.
Each club is outlined including how non-members can join or simply visit as
a guest.
