Zoom Chapter Meeting with Nate Bennet, Thursday, November 11

Nate Bennet lives year round in Jackson with his wife, Jamie and their yellow lab, Lulu. When he’s not out on the water with clients, there is a good possibility that they are out as a family, fishing! In the winter, Nate spends his time painting, playing guitar, teaching art and fly tying classes and substituting in the local school district. Of course, many evenings are spent tying flies for the upcoming fishing season and daydreaming about the fish that will inhale them.

Please join us Thursday, November 11th, at 7:30 on Zoom. Nate Bennet will speak on fly fishing in the Tetons. You should receive an email from our president, Jim Langell, with all the details just before the meeting.

Zoom Chapter Meeting with Darren Rist, Thursday, October 14th

Some of Darren’s fondest childhood memories are of fishing with his father and brothers. Darren always loved trout fishing, but it wasn’t until his first year in college that he caught the fly fishing bug. H spent many painstaking hours deciding whether to go to his morning engineering classes at NJIT or the ‘entomology classes’ on one of the many trout rivers in Northern NJ. (The latter usually won out). In 2002 Darren found myself wanting more than just a career in engineering, so he decided to buy his first drift boat and began guiding part time on the fabled rivers of the Catskills and Upper Delaware. Being a fly fishing guide has enabled Darren to blend his love of the outdoors, travel, photography, birding, teaching and of course, fly fishing. In addition to guiding, Darren offers fly casting and tying instruction and is a past president of the North Jersey Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

Please join us Thursday, October 14th, at 7:30 on Zoom. Darren will speak on Upper Delaware River Fly Fishing. You should receive an email from our president, Jim Langell, with all the details just before the meeting.

His presentation is called “Fly Fishing in Maine is Wicked Fun” is the main event.
