This week I will be at the Delaware Valley Fly Fishers in Yardley, Pa. on Wednesday night presenting “A Walk on the Wild Side, Fly Fishing Pennsylvania’s Headwater Streams”. On Thursday I will be doing a fly tying demo at the International Fly Fishing Film Festival at the Goggle Works in Reading, Pa. Till next week …… www.ramsayflies #keystoneflyfishing
