Bass 101

Andy & Jeff from the West Coast Bass Anglers were good enough to come out last Saturday, July 9, to teach the girls a few things about fishing bass.
Everyone's excited about getting their first chance to fish for these feisty little - and sometimes not so little - fish.

Rick Passek, The Fly Fish Fanatic

Rick Passek, author of The Freshman's FlyFisher's Insect Guide and The Freshman's FlyFisher, A Beginner's Guide for a New Generation generously spent a Saturday in the Fall of 2011 with the West Coast Fish n' Chicks.  Rick's pragmatic approach to fly fishing mitigated the confusion most beginners feel when confronted with the strange language and technologies of angling.

With an enormous array of flies, lines, and reels, Rick provided concrete examples of how, where, and when a presentation is most effective.  Thankfully if our memories lapse when we are on the water, we are now fortunate to have as reference guides, Rick's concise and very portable books!
