The Kilowatt – 6:30 PM at Aptos Grange, 2555 Mar Vista Drive, Aptos, CA, 95003

Taught by: Barry Bert
Target Species: Trout

This is a variation of Cliff Watt’s Kilowatt fly that has produced some really nice steelhead for me on the San Lorenzo. I’ve swung it on a skaget line in the estuary, dead, drifted it on a tight line in the riffles, and through runs under a bobber. It also can be jigged like a spoon through a pool or frog water. As always, the classes are free and materials are provided if you have black 140 denier or 3/0 wax nylon, please bring it. The club will have thread to borrow. For you beginners there will be equipment to use as well. Sign up at the club meeting or call with at least 24 hours notice. 831-345-0864.
