Want to learn more about Trout Fishing in Argentina?  

     I am available to speak to your group of Fly anglers at your meeting place or host an event here in my shop. I present a 45 minute slide show on our 2004-05-06 trips to Patagonia.

     I can show you how a week of Trout fishing in Argentina is much more affordable than a comparable week in Montana including all meals, lodging, 6 days of guided fishing, license, ground transportation...and airfare!

     Give me a call and find out how you and your group can fish these un-crowded waters in the spring of 2009.

Does your group need a speaker?

     I also have a presentation on Wader Care and Repair that I can give to your TU Group or fishing club. 

Fly Tying Classes or demonstrations can also be arranged for your group. Contact me here at the store and we can get it scheduled.
