One of Jay’s Intruder Patterns:

I really enjoyed this interview as I spent a good part of the day with Jay before and after the interview.  I met Jack at PacificCityFlyFishing.com who brought a real conversation about some of the challenges with conservation and fly fishing.

Jay is a master at Fly fishing for west coast chinook salmon and fly tying a diverse array of flies.  He has over 100 fly tying videos at the Caddis Fly Shops blog and has a separate youtube channel of his own.

         

I’ll be tying some of Jay’s patterns in the months to come so stay tuned as we get further into the year.  You can see most of my videos by clicking here.
