Deep Creek FlyFishers

Tonight - 5/27, we are very happy to have Mike Peters from Long Branch Fly Fishing, 7pm start at the clubhouse in Fairmount Park, Riverside, CA.  Mike will be presenting:  Fly Fishing the West: Techniques, Tactics, and Species Across Four Iconic States

Whether you’re new to fly fishing or a seasoned angler, this presentation offers valuable insights for every skill level. Mike Peters will guide attendees through a dynamic overview of effective fly fishing techniques used across four premier Western destinations: California, Alaska, Oregon, and Montana.

Mike will break down strategies for both single‑handed and two‑handed Spey/switch rod applications, explaining when and why each tool excels. The session will cover a wide range of targeted species—from freshwater trout and bass to saltwater gamefish and the highly sought‑after steelhead.

Drawing on years of guiding and competitive casting experience, Mike will share practical tips, regional considerations, and proven approaches that anglers can immediately put to use on the water.

Tonight 3/25, 7pm!  Deep Creek Fly Fishers is thrilled to have Blake Jackson from Ugly Bug Fly Shop in Casper, Wyoming.  Blake will be talking about all of the fishing opportunities in Central Wyoming.  We’ve heard there are some big and beautiful cutthroats…

A destination twice recognized by Orvis as Outfitter of the Year, the shop serves as a hub for Blake’s deep industry expertise. As a signature tier for Umpqua Feather Merchants, his commercial patterns are staples in fly boxes nationwide, and his insights have been featured on the Discovery Network, Outdoor Channel, Fox News.  Whether he’s navigating the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef sections of the North Platte River or chasing carp on local reservoirs, Blake is defined by a relentless dedication to the craft. Beyond the water, he is a committed mentor, volunteering his time to share the therapeutic power of fly fishing with veteran groups and local youth.

 

Deep Creek Fly Fishers is very pleased to have Lino Jubilado as our October 22nd Meeting (tonight) Speaker, 7pm start time at the clubhouse.

Lino is going to present  "Beyond the Foam - A Multi-Species Approach to Fly Fishing the Surf"

I am an experienced Southern California fly angler and an avid fly tyer who lives, eats, and breathes
all things fly fishing. As an accomplished competitive angler, I have multiple bass tournamentvictories, big fish awards, and an American Bass Association, Angler of the Year title. I am a 2020 California Fly Fishing Open (CFFO) Gold medalist and a 2018 & 2019 CFFO bronze medalist in an all tenkara team. I also have a 2 nd Place finish with big fish honors at the 2019 Carp Fest team tournament in Kernville, CA.

I love sharing my knowledge and experience with others and have been the featured speaker at
many events including the So Cal Fly Fishing Club Consortium, The Fly Fishing Faire, and Orvis
Pasadena. I was also featured in the Los Angeles Times and Vice Media’s “Munchies”- Eating Sewer Salmon from the LA River.

I have experience catching everything from Tuna on the fly to small native rainbows and bluegill in
local lakes, streams, and ponds. My specialties include targeting carp in the LA River, largemouth bass in urban ponds and lakes, and a variety of surf species.

I am a Temple Fork Outfitters Ambassador and, on the Simms, and Far Bank Enterprises (Sage,
Reddington, Rio Products) pro staff. Other supporters include Tenkara USA and Orvis Pasadena.

Although I am not a guide, I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to mentor and coach many great people to catch their first bass, carp, corbina, and many other species on the fly. It is very rewarding to bring a trophy fish to hand, but nothing compares to helping others get a thrill from learning and accomplishing this task themselves. Whether it be someone’s first or largest fish on the fly, I love watching the smiles and joy fly fishing brings to others more than anything.

Tonight 8/27, 7pm start!  Deep Creek Fly Fishers is thrilled to have Ryan and Rob Buhler aka the Buhler Bros as the August Speaker.
