Upper Sac Fly Fishing Clinic Features Wayne Eng, Fred Gordon (And No Beatings!)

By Tom Chandler 7/24/2013

The Upper Sacramento River Exchange is offering a fly fishing clinic featuring Fred Gordon and Wayne Eng, and if you're familiar with this area, you know those two guides account for a great deal of expertise on the Upper Sac.

Wayne stopped by this morning and he told me the clinic is aimed at the beginner to intermediate fly fisher (Wayne's getting the beginners, Fred's teaching the intermediates).

Wayne also said that unlike almost all other fly fishing clinics, their students will not be subjected to beatings. Sounds like the kind of coddling that produces soft, flabby fly fishermen, but if you're one of those fancy-pants types who wants to learn and doesn't like being beaten, then this is the fly fishing clinic for you.

As the author of the decade leading fly fishing blog Trout Underground, Tom believes that fishing is not about measuring the experience but instead of about having fun. As a staunch environmentalist, he brings to the Yobi Community thought leadership on environmental and access issues facing us today.

Now there's the headline the River Exchange should have used: "Take this clinic or Wayne Eng will break your leg."

Wayne Eng is dangerous, he broke my leg. I was striding confidently towards the hirsute man 'long the banks of Upper Sacto to show him a fine old 7 1/2' Heddon Featherweight, when lo mein and behold, a slippery rock moved and placed itself under my right foot. I did fracture mine ankle. Therefore, watch out for Wayne Eng.
