Lance's NEW program will highlight fishing techniques and locations to fish for steel head on the Feather River. Steel head are said to be the fish of a thousand casts. With Lance’s insights you can lessen that number significantly. The Feather River gets a large run of steelhead every winter and with the right techniques and flies are within reach of anglers of all skill levels. Lance is a long time friend of our club and we look forward every year to hosting him.
Lance started fly fishing with his father and brother Lincoln at age 7. In his teens, he began tying flies commercially for shops all around Northern California. At 17, he went to work at Powell's in Chico, working in the fly shop and building rods. He guided for Powell’s, conducted fly-tying and fly-fishing schools, and traveled. In 1993, Lance and Kirsten started Saltwater Innovations, a company that manufactured and distributed products for saltwater fly fishing. Lance’s Crystal Popper, Gray’s Billfish Fly, the KO Charlie line and the Raghead Crabs are all Saltwater Innovations products. Kirsten worked behind the scenes, handling the day-to-day operation and running the manufacturing floor of the company.
