Marsh Sense is a clinic being offered by long time Sea Island Fly Fishers (SIFF) member, John Mathews. John has made close to 500 wading trips into our local marshes and is well positioned to educate club members in the basics of successfully wading and fishing in the tidal marsh environment and, above all, doing it safely.
Water temperatures will soon be rising with fiddler crabs becoming more active. The tailing red/wading season for 2024 is around the corner! John is now scheduling clinics for the 2024 season, so sign up now and secure your place in this very popular program!
