Pheasant Tail Simplicity isn’t about buying more gear or carrying hundreds of flies. It’s about understanding why knowledge and carefully selected tools outperform fads.
At this event, you can participate in a fly-tying workshop led by Patagonia ambassador Hilary Hutcheson and learn the time-tested tactics behind these flies.
Â
You'll also have an opportunity to connect with the local non-profit The Native Fish Society.
Â
Signed copies of the book and the companion fly box, produced in partnership with Umpqua Feather Merchants, will be available for purchase.
Â
Food from Elephants Delicatessen, Patagonia Provisions Beer, music, fly fishing gear giveaways, and community vibes included. Doors open at 7:15 p.m.
