Monthly Meeting May 8, 2024
May 8 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us Wednesday May 8, 2024, at 6:30 for our monthly meeting and everyone is invited, not just members. This will be great, and it is being taught by our own Bob Martin aka The Trout Guy.
Bob was born and raised in the Catskills of New York, known as the birthplace of fly fishing in America. His parents encouraged me to collect and keep many freshwater aquariums, further fueling his interest in river and pond fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects.
“My passion for fly fishing grew over time, and it eventually led me to pursue a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Science from SUNY at Cobleskill”. “I later attended SUNY at Stony Brook for Environmental Science, where I had the chance to fly fish sea run trout in the Nissequogue River on Long Island”.
Bob is excited to share his knowledge and experience with others who are interested in fly fishing. Specifically, he will be giving a presentation on identifying insects, minnows, and other creatures that are important food sources for trout. He will also describe fly selection and how to match the natural food of the trout in the water you are fishing in. During my presentation, I will demonstrate and describe fly select ion and materials to best match the trout food you need to imitate to be successful.
