I am from Vernon British Columbia.
Great fishing around here, We are Close to Kamloops where there are one
hundred fifty lake within a fifty mile radius.
I moved from New denver BC to Vernon last october because of medical
problems.
Have co authored a book containing paterns and tying instructions for thirty
very useful flies for the Pacific Northwest. I will be tying at the Fly
Fishing Syposium at Castlegar BC on March 23 and 24,
George
