Musky Fly Designs
 
Streamers have so many distinct qualities that can be utilized to achieve different actions. Fish will respond positively or negatively to these actions. Knowing how to impart these actions on your fly is important to getting the most potential out of them and increasing your odds. Musky are no exception to this rule. Knowing the separate ways to manipulate your fly will give you the best odds when that big green head is finally hot on the trail of your fly.

1:00pm - Fishing opportunities along the Youghiogheny River (Free)
It's no secret that Pennsylvania is home to some of the best fly fishing on the east coast. While many local anglers travel several hours to fish the rightfully well known waters of Central PA, they are often overlooking a very good option that is practically right in their back yard - the Youghiogheny River!


Laurel Highlands Guide Services fishing guides Mike Engelhardt and Jarret Kasan have been wade and float fishing the river for over 30 years between the two of them, and have a wide range of experience targeting the trout, smallmouth bass, musky, and other fish that call the river home. Let them fill you in on the great fly fishing options that exist close to the Pittsburgh area that may not only save you a bit of gas money, but may also help you put a few impressive fish in the net this season!

This program will consist of two sessions: 
The first session will be a fly tying demo where Mike and Jarret will discuss how to tie and fish a few of their favorite streamers and nymphs that they use to target trout on the Yough. Tying tips, gear preferences, rigging, and tactics will be discussed that will help give you some added confidence and increase your success when you fish the big water
(or anywhere else for that matter)."
The second will discuss the fishing opportunities along the entire length of the Yough in Pennsylvania. Mike and Jarret will provide a seasonal view of the fishing opportunities, and also discuss some common tactics they use to put fish in the net.
