flylab

Welcome to my first post on flylab.ca. A blog dedicated to the sport of fly fishing.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Michael Klein. I'm a regular bloger at http://www.michaelklein.ca where I focus on marketing strategy. In my day job I work at the University of Saskatchewan and in my off time I am the President of the Kilpatrick Flyfishers in Saskatoon.

The Kilpatricks have been around for over 25 years now and I'm happy to say we have over one hundred members (who would have known Saskatchewan would have a fly fishing). I've only been involved for the last four years (I've only been fly fishing for four years) and I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from the members – these guys really know how to catch fish on stillwaters (lakes)!

Over the coming months I hope to journal my adventures in fly fishing on the prairies and I hope you wlll tune in with me. I expect my posts will be a combination of fishing reports, fly tying instructions, book reviews and other reflections on the sport.

Well, it's March 31st and in Saskatchewan that means the closing of the ice fishing season. It also means that open water season is just a month away. And, I can't wait to get on the water!

Tight lines,
Mike Klein
