Our friends in the Contraband Fly Casters (Lake Charles) are holding their annual fly fishing expo this year in mid-July. The event will showcase Pat Cohen, one of the most recognized names in fly tying, and a master of deer hair flies.
In addition to Pat, some of the top fly tiers in the Gulf Coast region will be demonstrating their favorite patterns. That includes nationally-recognized realistic tier Fred Hannie who will be at the Copic booth. Several of the region's top fly casting instructors - such as Jay Clark and Jeff Ferguson - will be on hand. There are programs, exhibits and demonstrations, as well as raffles to benefit Project Healing Waters and Reel Recovery.
The event is free and family-friendly. For more info, go to www.contrabandflycastersinc.com or call 337-540-1292.
