Saturday, January 13th Fly Tying Demo Features John Scola

John and Friend

I grew up in southeast Wisconsin where all sorts of fishing opportunities present themselves. I predominantly spin fished as most do growing up but as I grew older my Dad taught me how to fly fish. I cut my teeth chasing trout in Wisconsin’s driftless region where spring creeks are abundant. As I fly fished more I chased everything from warm water species to lake run brown trout and steelhead.

Fly fishing has taken me many places one of which being Wyoming where I now live. I guided fly fishing trips for the last 4 years in the Jackson Hole area and have traveled elsewhere in the state to chase trout on my own time.

Foam flies and streamers are some of my tying favorites, but I have tied everything from musky and steelhead flies to saltwater flies. My demo at Fly Fish Food-Jimmy’s will present my most effective patterns from all these types. I will also offer information on how to present each one.
