Ultralight Fly fishing

ultralight fly fishing with frank burr

Frank Burr of the Oasis Fly Shop in Alhambra, California, and of Snowbee fly fishing equipment, will talk about ultralight fly fishing and the fast-action one and two-weight fly rods he designed for Snowbee.

Frank learned fly fishing and fly tying in summer school at the early age of seven, and then learned Tenkara fishing during a trip to Japan in 1970. A native of Southern California, Frank fly fishes throughout the state, always looking for the elusive heritage trout in California waters. Although trout is his favorite species, Frank will fly fish for any species just to get in a day of fishing. Frank has worked in the fly fishing industry for the past 7 years for Orvis and now for Snowbee USA, assisting in the design of Ultralight Fly Rods and other products in the Snowbee line. Frank is also a fly fishing instructor and guide specializing in golden trout and other heritage trout species in California. Frank speaks at events, clubs and shows in the USA and volunteers many days each year teaching youth fly fishing programs.
