Sitting here at the table with the rest of the Expo chairmen, frosty morning outside so I guess I won’t be missing much fun fishing time! Should be interesting to see what’s new!

“Where To Catch Big Trout”

eric — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:31:55 +0000

Chuck Hawkins from Hawkins Outfitters has agreed to present “Where To Catch Big Trout” in Michigan at this years Midwest Fly Fishing Expo. A program that he has compiled from his fly fishing knowledge and his numerous guides for over 20 years on our streams. His strategies are proven successful. Some are innovative while others are “tweaked” or updated to conform with the ever changing selectivity of Michigan trout. His streamer patterns have been wildly successful and have been featured as an exclusive Orvis fly pattern over past three years. His killer streamers include: The Nutcracker, The Lil Rascal and The Hat Trick.
