Steve loving the worlds smallest permit.....


Ray Travis AN Orvis consultant and fly pattern innovator.  He originally hails from Ohio, but we were fortunate enough to steal him for ourselves.  He leads most of our fly tying classes.

 

Recently I (Steve) was on a trip with Ray and he started throwing the largest, ugliest damn fly in the world.  It was a big old red cross cut leech pattern on a size two hook with lead eyes.  When I asked him what the hell he was thinking (the creek was only about 20 feet wide, a pretty little spring creek), he just smiled, as if to say "wait".....I was currently fishing a pretty little size 16 sparkle sulpher to put things in perspective...That very drift hooked into and landed a fish that easily went 26 inches....I am now a believer...I ran back to the cabin, raided Ray's tying stash and started making lead eye leeches as fast as I could tie....


Don Tammaro is a long time Trout Unlimited member and has fishing longer than most of us even knew what a fly rod was. He has fished extensively in Colorado and Pennsylvania. Every time I look at the size of this striper I get envious.....

JT Davis
Relocated to Erie in June of 2003 to take advantage of the year round fishing opportunities.  The past year and a half he has spent countless days on the Erie tribs and the cold water streams of western and central PA.  He's an active member of Trout Unlimited, Gem City Fly Tiers, the Erie Casting Club and the Northwest PA Sportsmen's Coalition.  In the mid-1970's he cut his teeth on flyfishing in pursuit of wild brook trout in Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains and the spring creeks in southern PA.
