I am really excited to announce that Phil will be coming to Prince George on March 14 and 15th, 2020 to teach a 2 day course on fly tying and fly fishing.
Phil Rowley needs no introduction. He's a permanent and valued fixture in the fly fishing and fly tying world and we are very honored to have Phil share his knowledge with us in this class.
We of the North do not get as many chances to learn with world class fishermen or fly tyers like other parts of our province, so I've decided to bring in Phil as our first guest. As time progresses, I will be bringing in more guests such as Dennis Gamboa (Beginner and Advanced Fly Tying) and Rob Texmo (Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying) so keep watch for those classes as well.
There also will be
door prizes as well for students to win throughout the 2 days donated by Phil Rowley's and Chinook Wind Outfitter's connections.
