Dan Blanton is widely regarded as a pioneer of San Francisco Delta striped bass fly fishing and guiding, with decades of experience exploring one of the most challenging tidal fisheries in the US. He’s influenced generations of anglers and fly-tiers as the inventor of seminal fly patterns like the Sar-Mul-Mac and the Whistler, with many of his patterns responsible for record catches across a wide variety of species and fisheries.
Dan will discuss the evolution of Delta striped bass fishing, from early discoveries to modern techniques, and how it inspired his approach to fly design.
