Since January 2023, he has been traveling the country with his wife in an Airstream travel trailer, pursuing catching trout in all 50 states and visiting each state's high point. During that time, Jeff has caught trout in 39 states and 3 Canadian provinces, across 77 different streams and rivers. He has been successful on 75 of those 77 waters, i.e., only been skunked twice, the first time he fished them, and his story is that there were extenuating circumstances in both instances.
Jeff is happy to admit that there are far better fishermen than himself, yet he feels he has developed a pretty good system and process for approaching new waters.
Topics will include:
- Pre-trip planning and research
- Approaching the water upon arrival
- Adapting once on the water
- Rigs and Setups
- Confidence Flies
This presentation will be held on Saturday, February 28, at 10:00 AM, in room 117 of the Ice House, 127 West Bruce Street, Harrisonburg. Parking is available across the street from the Ice House in the Lifelong Learning Institute parking lot.
