Pat Cohen will be at Ole Florida Fly Shop this weekend doing fly tying seminars all day June 3rd & 4th.

If you're in the area and are interested in learning to spin deer hair or perfecting your technique, this is the guy to watch and talk to. You can see more of Pat's work on Instagram @rusuperfly or his website: rusuperfly.com More information on the seminars: Pat Cohen 2017 Fly Tying Seminar
