• Clayton is the real “Most Interesting Man in the World”. He is an accomplished fly fisherman and tier who has traveled and fished throughout the US and the world. An active member of the Clinch River Chapter Trout Unlimited, he has been a fly-tying instructor and mentor for many years. He’s an expert at tying and fishing midges on tailwaters, especially the Clinch, South Holston, San Juan River in New Mexico and other western rivers. Midges are an important part of a trout’s diet and knowing how to tie them and the best ways to fish them will help you be more successful on the water. If you want to improve your midge game this demo is for you. This demonstration is perfect for anglers of all skill levels. New tiers will appreciate Clayton’s teaching style and experience. Advanced tiers will pick up subtle adjustments that will make their flies more effective on the water. Even if you don’t tie flies, our fly-tying demos are a great place to increase your understanding of trout behavior and learn from people who share their insights from years fishing our local waters.

• Steve and Tom Brown are members of Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Steve will be tying wet fly patterns which can be especially effective on the Clinch River. Tom has yet to decide what type of patterns he will be tying.
