Fly Tying 101/Method Session - Todd Oishi - Loch Style Fishing
Submitted by lpiggin on Wed, 2024-09-25 08:43Great session last night at The Fly Shop at Domenic’s our first Fly Tying 101/Method Session of the fall season. Todd Oishi presented to nineteen Members on Loch Style fishing. Todd explained the two types of drogues and how they are used. His presentation dealt with competitions and where it’s the norm. It’s a different way of fishing and definitely has its advantages. My first time doing this was at our Heffley Lake fishout earlier this year with Todd Oishi and we both had great success.
Tight lines.
