Appearances & Presentations...

Appearances and presentations are what it's all about for Kirsten and I. We love to share our passion. Every fly fisher who has joined us at a fly-club presentation or has attended one of the many shows or fairs sees that we are energized about this great sport.

The presentations are a great way to receive accurate and detailed information about a piece of water. Kirsten and I have a ball at all of these events and we look forward to each and every one. At the right is a list of upcoming events that we will be involved with. We hope you enjoy these great presentations.

Lance Gray & Company Presentations...

"Steelheading on the Feather"

The lecture portion of this presentation covers history, angling information, access points, fly-fishing techniques and flies. The demonstration portion is hands-on: setting up rods and tying flies, if time allows. Handouts on the presentation are included.

"Northern California Stillwater"

The lecture portion of this presentation will focus on a slew of stillwater locations in Northern California. Emphasis is placed on angling techniques, fly selection, access points and angling insight. This presentation is a great way to learn about several awesome stillwater venues. Handouts on the presentation are included.

“Fishing Northern California”

This presentation has a little of everything – an overview of what Northern California has to offer, from rivers to streams to legendary stillwaters like Eagle Lake and Lake Almanor. It includes a PowerPoint portion with handouts for the audience. The comprehensive handouts cover locations, access points, equipment, regulations, contact agencies and attractions in the area.

"The Fabulous Four" 

“The Fabulous Four” is a presentation on the four reservoirs that we fish on the west side of the Sacramento Valley – Indian Valley Reservoir, Black Butte Lake, East Park Reservoir and Stony Gorge Reservoir. These impoundments are great places to fish all year long. Rainbows, bass and sunfish are in these lakes. The angling is great and the presentation is even better!

"Angling the Lower Sacramento"

“Angling the Lower Sacramento” is, of course, a presentation on the Lower Sacramento River. It's more than showing off the grip-and-grins photo of the big wild rainbows. It's not about drifting the river, per se (although drifting is covered). The presentation focuses on precisely what an angler needs and the locations of access areas for wading anglers and boat launches for those who drift. The presentation will educate the fly fisher on the entire Lower Sac.

Fly Fishing Tour

"Fly Fishing Tour" presentation is based on 6 different tours that Lance Gray & Company conducts for guest. The multiple day tours are designed to show access points, tackle needed, techniques, conservation issues, combined with angling safe practices. The presentation includes "The Mammoth Tour". "Lake Almanor Tour", "Valley Steelhead Tour", "The Burney Tour", "Fly Fishing the Surf Tour", and the "Hidden Coast Tour". The presentation is a look at fishiers that anglers can tour and gain confidence to fish them by themselves.

Northern California Valley Steelhead Rivers

LGC's new presentation for 2012is on the Northern California Valley Steelhead Rivers. Basically a look at the valley rivers steelhead runs. Yuba, American, Sacramento and the Feather. Seasons, access areas, flies, techniques including standard and double handed rods. This is a brand new program.
