Ben Gehrke The Irish Fly Fair 2025

Growing up in Canada there was always a lake or river to explore and Ben has done that from as early as he could remember.

Ben continues to explore to this day. He has fished all over the world for a number of species and still prefers to search for Steelhead in BC, preferably with a dry fly.

He is the owner of RaidZap and Lagartun and is always looking for a new pattern that could catch him another Steelhead.

Ben took up fly fishing in his twenties and will be tying some of his favourite Steelhead patterns at the show.
