SLV Trout Unlimited to meet Tuesday

Posted

ALAMOSA — San Luis Valley Trout Unlimited would like to invite all interested individuals to their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. at the Alamosa Senior Center, 92 Colorado Ave., Alamosa.  

SLV TU is pleased to welcome back Ben McGee and his treasure chest of knowledge about aquatic macro-invertebrates – bugs. McGee is a career scientist in the fields of monitoring aquatic ecosystem health and trout habitat characterization. He has also been one of Colorado's top euro-style fly fishing instructors and an innovative fly-tier for over a decade. He will be coming to us via live video. If you have never seen one of his presentations, you are in for a treat. If you have seen one of his presentations, you know how great they can be. 

McGee’s program for the evening will be “Entomology for Fly Anglers”. We will quickly cover the basics of Order, Family, Genus, and species. More specifically, dive into details about different life stages, bug behavior at these stages, and the most common misrepresentations and or misconceptions of the fly-angling community. We will explore some excellent bug resources and reference information that will help amplify your fly-fishing game. This entomology demonstration is suitable for all anglers, novice to professional. You don't want to miss this one. 

As always, the meeting is open to the public. For more information, call 719-588-7678.
