Program
Proper Fly and Light Tackle Rigging, Proper Fly and Lure Selection and When and Where to Catch Fish in the Marshes of Glynn
As a licensed Coast Guard Captain, Capt. Dave will present a program on fishing for red fish with fly and light tackle in the salt marshes of Coastal Georgia. This year's seminar will focus more closely on fly and light tackle rigging needed to fish successfully in the Marshes of Glynn. What equipment, leaders and lures to use as well as how to tie some of Capt. Dave's most effective original red fish fly patterns will be covered in the seminar.
Once you are rigged and ready to catch these fish, Capt. Dave will cover when and where to find the fish. Then he will discuss handling and releasing one of the sportiest game fish on the Georgia Coast, the Red Drum.
The objective of the presentation is for you to leave with enough knowledge for you to begin learning how to find, catch and land Red Fish on either fly or light tackle.

Dave has fly fished for trout, Steelhead, Stripers, Salmon, False Albacore, Bonefish, Permit, Red Fish, Triple Tail, Sea Trout, Bream, Carp, Bass and anything else that would take a fly from Alaska to the Bahamas, from Vermont to California and many of the states in between.
