Zoom Meeting with Steve Angers -Thursday, December 10th
Steve Angers is the author of Fly Fishing New Hampshire's Secret Waters. New Hampshire's hard and rugged exterior protects one of America's richest native brook trout fisheries. These abundant waters are as varied as the landscape, from Mount Washington to peaceful meadows. The anticipation of the largest mayfly hatch contrasts with the quiet, deep waters of holding pools, and anglers are rewarded when they learn how to read the rivers and streams. Remote areas such as the Perry Ponds may require an entire day, while more accessible waters such as Mink Brook still provide excitement. With more than fifty years of experience, Steve Angers reveals some of his favorite spots and details what it takes to be successful when fishing in the Granite State.
Join us at 7:30 pm to hear Steve speak on this subject at our next Chapter Zoom Meeting. You should receive an email from our president, Jim Langell, with all the details just before the meeting.

Some little-known facts about major hatches
The importance of stream-to-stream variation
Correlation of immature and adult stages
Recommended patterns, theories of fly design
Techniques for different hatches
Time of year, time of day, and water types for various hatches

Zoom Meeting with Aaron Jasper- Thursday, October 8th at 7:30PM
Aaron Jasper fishes an average of 200-250 days a year, and has been fly fishing since the age seven. Aaron's early fly fishing took him to New Jersey trout streams such as the Flat Brook, Ramapo and Pequest Rivers. Since that time, Aaron has been fortunate to fish some of the greatest trout streams around the country, fishing extensively in the Eastern United States, as well as traveling across the country to experience some of the very best fly fishing available out West. As a result of his travels, Aaron has learned many techniques, flies and rigs that have enabled him to constantly grow and improve as a fisherman. Aaron goes where the fish are and most of the time it’s under the surface. He’s spent the last few years studying, researching and testing old and new methods.
The members of Hacklebarney TU are looking forward to Aaron Jasper’s presentation on three methods of fishing sub-surface. You should receive an email from our president, Jim Langell, with all the details just before the meeting.
