August Monthly Program
Mike Pease – Introduction to Streamers

Our speaker this month will be Mike Pease.  He is a fly-fishing guide, the owner of Mike Pease Adventures, and founder of the Feather River Fly Fishing School in Plumas County near Graeagle, California.

Mike is an Orvis endorsed guide and has spoken several times at the Orvis store in Roseville.  This is a return visit to the club for Mike.  During those earlier visits he discussed fishing opportunities in the Feather River Canyon and the Lost Sierras, as well as providing tips to improve nymphing and mending skills.  At our August meeting Mike will present a program titled “Introduction to Streamers.”

Mike grew up trout and steelhead fishing with his father and grandfather on many of the well-known streams of Northern California. He took his skill and art to a new level when he learned to fly fish over 30 years ago in the Greater Redding area with many of the masters of the North state.

Mike has become a skilled fly-fishing instructor and guide. He combines his career as a Stanford-trained educator with a lifetime of fishing and adventure.  This results in a unique approach to teaching others how to fly fish. Mike strives to make you a client for life while helping you hone your angling skills.  His objective is to serve all your fly-fishing needs.

Mike is permitted to guide in the Plumas National Forest.  Hence, he can take you to hidden river gems like the Middle and North Forks of the Feather River.  He also guides other Central Valley rivers, including the Calaveras, Lower Yuba, Lower Sacramento, and the Lower American.

Mike is the “real deal”.  Get to the clubhouse early!



Leader’s Line

I want to again thank everyone for putting their trust in me to help run this great organization. The weather is nice, but the one thing that is wrong. IT’S HOT. Hopefully, everyone is getting out and doing some type of fishing. This is the best time to go up to those mountain lakes and various streams. Being that it’s not as hot up there, we all can enjoy the various fishing spots. If you need ideas on where to go, check out the Message Board as some club members do share information at times.  Check out those fishouts and sign up. It’s always fun to go out as a group.

As a reminder, we all like the fishing photos. So, any photo you take please send them to Chris Kight he will post them to the photo Gallery and show them at out next General Meeting.

Go out and have Fun!
