Flycasters safety class is tonight
The monthly meeting of the High Sierra Flycasters will address a couple of topics important to people who fish the mountain streams and lakes.
First there is a presentation by Bob Macias and Nick Summers addressing streamside safety, First Aid, and common emergency situations.
The second presentation will be by Liz and Don Weirach of the Anglers Edge. They'll talk about equipment maintenance and preseason tune up. The duo also will talk about new gear. The equipment available for fly fishers increases constantly, and there are often significant changes, especially in rod and line technology.
