Fly Fishing Legends

FLY-FISHING LEGENDS WEEK

Years ago, we pioneered a very special week for fly-fishermen at Ganglers. Hosted by some of the greatest names in the business, it is a week of great camaraderie and learning and, of course, phenomenal fishing. The names who have hosted and attended it are a who’s who of fly-fishing- Lefty Kreh (8x), Flip Pallot, Dan Blanton, Ken Hanley, Bob Clouser, Nick Curcione, Larry Dahlberg, Del Brown and Rick Pope of Temple Fork Outfitters. It’s extremely relaxed –just like hanging around the local fly-shop, exchanging techniques, learning how to tie certain flies, enjoying some casting instruction and an over-all , an experience you will always cherish. The bonus is that banter is with one of the finest fly-fishermen in the world !

Ed Jaworowski was a host of Fly fishing legends week in 2011. He is well-known as one of the finest, if THE finest, fly caster around and has spent his life teaching its nuances. Lefty Kreh called Ed “the best teacher of fly-casting I have ever know.” He is also a well-traveled, well-rounded fly fisherman with trips throughout the world. He writes for several magazines, has written several books, and has appeared on the NBC Today show, interviewed by Bryant Gumbel. He has enjoyed fishing for pike in Canada several times over the last few years and did a short expeditionary trip to Ganglers last July in preparing for this year’s trip. He’s a brilliant and interesting man, a professor of classical studies at Villanova University and an opera singer. Best of all, he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. It was a very special Fly-fishing Legends week at Ganglers! Here’s Ed’s comments about Ganglers below –

“Pike were made for fly fishing, and Gangler’s North Seal River Lodge was made for serious fly fishermen. If you like sight fishing for large, aggressive fish with a floating line, here’s the place. The many lakes offer a variety of pike fishing opportunities, weed beds, lily pads, rocky points, and drop-offs. I’ve caught pike in 5 provinces, Alaska, and Ireland. Nowhere have I had more exciting fishing or better success than at Gangler’s. A “trophy” fish, 41 inches or better, is a real possibility at any moment, and many are caught each week. If you want to spice your sport with variety, many of the lakes also offer the chance to check walleyes and grayling off your “to do” list in short order; even lake trout at certain times of the season. Whether you enjoy stripping streamers through weedbeds, chugging poppers across the lily pads, or floating dry flies along current seams, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities to create fishing memories at Gangler’s. I’m going back and I hope you will join me.”
