This is going to be a don't miss moment.  We are a proud NRS dealer and have been since we opened our store in 2013.  With the diversity in waters we fish around here, we are assembling a boat to meet all of it.  Michael Mattox and Dave McCoy are going to put together a steelhead/trout boat unique to our PNW fisheries and talk about how to customize a boat for your needs.

December 5, 2025 | Dec Hogan Tying Class | $100
Location | EWA Store
Dec is going to talk about tying the Skagit Mist and why he believes you don't need articulated, weighted, huge flies to entice winter fish to eat.  For those taking the spey school either Friday or Saturday, this is must so you can better understand why traditional, classic tied flies still work and work well in todays winter steelhead environment.  Vises and materials happily provided.

December 5-6, 2025 | Dec Hogan Spey School | $300
Location | Snoqualmie River at Fall City Bridge
This is one you are not going to want to miss.  It is one thing to come have a small group class with Dec, it is quite another to talk in depth on fly selection, sink tips and presentation that will disrupt so much of what the rest of the sport is generally talking about.  Well here it is!  Each day is a separate class, sign up for one or both, up to you.
