Trout Opener Special Event & Tailgate Talk

April 14th (Saturday) - 10:00am
This event is FREE

It's Spring Cleaning time! This is how it works: you give us your reels and we clean them -- and the fly line -- for free. Along with cleaning them, we'll condition your lines and check your knots. After all, we don't want you stepping out on the river only to discover that your line is full of dings and you're slapping the water like soap on a rope.

  • Breakfast & Lunch provided
  • Trout Fly Tying with Dave McCants and Scott Hoff
  • High Sierra Trout Fishing Slide Show
  • In-store Specials
  • Casting outside on the pond - we have the largest selection of rods in the Bay Area!

And to add to this event, since trout fishing opening day is just around the corner, Victor and Bill will hold a Trout Fishing Tailgate Talk, good for both newbies and old hands alike. Topics they will cover:

  • How the season is shaping up
  • Where to go (waters near and far)
  • Gear necessities
  • Fishing techniques & insider tips
  • Strategies for the opener

This event will definitely get you ready for trout season (opening day: April 28th).

 

Join us for the first Tailgate Talk of 2012!

January 14th - 10:00am
January is prime time for Pyramid Lake, a high desert mountain lake that's 45 minutes north of Reno, NV. Lahontan Cutthroat trout here average 4-6 pounds with 10 pounders caught regularly. California Fly Shop Pro Staff Victor Inouye and Bill Scharninghausen will be preparing you for the Pyramid Lake Buddyfish on January 28th and 29th. Come learn about Pyramid Lake, Lahontan Cutthroats, and how to catch these big native fish with a fly rod!

The Tailgate Talk begins at 10 AM sharp and is FREE. Please RSVP on Facebook or by calling the shop if you plan on attending. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to fish Pyramid Lake from the experts!
