Dan Jackson (for Fish Tales Fly Shop) did a very good seminar on fly fishing photography. One of my daughters, who is a professional photographer herself, tagged along. She was very impressed, not only with Dan’s knowledge, but also with the way he was able to explain things in layman’s language.
The tripod that Dan is holding in one of the photos was intended to be a fish. He was showing how to handle a fish properly to get that “hero” shot. He also emphasized the importance of having the fish out of water for only a matter of seconds – just enough time to get the shot.

Jeff Thomson (for Country Pleasures Fly Shop) showed trick after trick of “assembly line” fly tying (A.K.A. commercial tying).
After reviewing quite a number of strategies, he showed that he could not only talk the talk, but walk the walk, by tying up a dozen each of two different flies in a matter of minutes.
The quality of those flies made it obvious why his creations are in high demand at the local fly shops.
