In regards to fly fishing for Tiger Muskies..
Steve Jackson of WDFW is going to be giving the South Sound Fly Fishers a
presentation on the Tiger Musky Program (July 17th). I asked him to give
us specifics on the Mayfield Reservoir Musky fishery.
Our club has an open door policy for people attending club programs, so if
your interested, I'll be posting a write-up for the program in July.
Last week, Bill Herzog put on a wonderful presentation on flyfishing the
Quinault River. He closed the program with a slide show of a Steelhead
fly fishing trip to the Dean River in B.C.- Very impressive!
