Below is a profile of a virtual lake that Jack Bramm sent to Paul Marriner and Bob Sheedy. Jack challenged each of them to come up with two flies they would select when fishing the lake for the first time. They were asked, "What were the flies, and when and how would they fish them?" Our Fly Tying class will be tying Paul and Bob's unique flies on Thursday, April 2.
