Flyfishing Labrador for Giant Brook Trout

Bill Carnazzo has been fly fishing for nearly 50 years. Retired from his “day job” several years ago, Bill guides on the Upper Sacramento, McCloud, Rubicon, and North Yuba rivers. His guiding career began approximately 8 years ago when he bought his first home in Dunsmuir. Bill is also a master fly tyer who ties at many fly fishing shows. He has created many original fly designs that are known as “fish catchers.” Bill also works part time at Kiene’s Fly Shop, and teaches fly fishing and fly tying at Sierra Community College. Bill has authored a number of articles for California Fly Fisher magazine on a variety of topics. He was a founding member of Granite Bay Flycasters and has been club president twice. Bill teaches fly tying classes for GBF, as well as clinics on nymphing and pocket water fishing. He presents programs at Northern California fly fishing clubs, and for the Northern California Council’s fly fishing conclave, concentrating on pocket water nymphing technique.

At this September's meeting Bill will present a program on fly fishing Labrador lakes and streams for giant Brook Trout.  Labrador and Newfoundland together comprise a province of Canada. Labrador, located on the eastern edge of Quebec, fronts the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to its fabulous inland Brook Trout fishery, it is famous for its Atlantic Salmon runs.  You will enjoy this presentation, which will introduce you to the areas “discovered” and made popular by Lee Wulff many years ago.  You will also marvel at the scenery and, of course, the fish!
