Fish Tales Fly Shop's After Hours Presentations Series is back! The goal of these presentations is to share information, provide tying demonstrations, and grow knowledge within our Calgary area fly fishing community. 

Prior to Covid, we held these sessions in-store on Sunday afternoons. We will now be hosting these seminars outside of our regular store hours, once a month from November through April. (Additional topics/dates may be added.)

Presentations are free. First ones in get the chairs. 

Unless otherwise noted sessions will start at 7 p.m. and last up to 2 hours.

Session Ten - Bow River Nymphing with Will Spokes
