As manager of Tight Lines, Dave fills big shoes by coordinating the back office, maintaining the daily shop activities and providing expert customer service, all while enjoying dry fly fishing in the Catskills, PA and Montana for trout and swinging flies for steelhead in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest.
Join us for a special morning dedicated to wild trout fishing in the Lehigh Valley. This region has an abundance of large wild browns in small to medium size waters.
Dave will lead a presentation highlighting some of the region’s wild trout fishing opportunities. Hatches, access points and characteristics of the following rivers will be discussed:
Bushkill Creek
Saucon Creek
Monocacy Creek
If you're interested in seeing what the area has to offer, consider joining us on Saturday, March 21.
We hope you’ll join us for an informative and enjoyable start to the day.
