Colorado’s own Rick Takahashi on Midge Fly Fishing
Rick Takahashi is an Umpqua fly designer and loves to tie and design fly patterns for the waters that he fishes. Rick has been tying flies since he was eight years of age! He is a demonstration fly tier and regularly appears as a fly tyer at local and regional venues like the Fly Fishing Show and the WDTU Fly Tying Clinic.
Rick has presented programs on Midge Fly Fishing and Fly Fishing Terrestrials, and has been an illustrator and contributor to Fly Fisherman Magazine. Rick's fly patterns have appeared in numerous books and publications. Rick's other interests when not tying flies or trying to catch fish, are creating art, cooking and enjoying his friends.
Rick has also authored 3 books:
This month’s pre-meeting fly tying demonstration will be the speaker himself, Rick Takahashi. The fly tying demonstration will begin at 6:00PM. You’re sure to learn something by coming to the meeting early!
Additionally, we have a monthly raffle drawing for several prizes at the end of that night’s meeting. If you’re new to Trout Unlimited, you get a free raffle ticket, otherwise, there is a small fee for the raffle tickets that we use to fund our projects and speakers. The raffle prizes are varied from fly rods to fly boxes filed with flies and CCTU logo’d merchandise. Just another reason to attend the meeting!
