Zoom Meeting with Domenick Swentosky, Thursday, February 10th
from Central Pennsylvannia and the author of Troutbitten-Life on the Water
“Hi. I’m a father of two young boys, a husband, author, fly fishing guide and a musician. I fish for wild brown trout in the cool limestone waters of Central Pennsylvania year round. This is my home, and I love it. Friends. Family. And the river.”
Domenick is coming back with his Zoom presentation called “Fifty Fly Fishing Tips in Sixty Minutes”.
The Fifty Tips presentation is for anglers of all skill levels and interests. The photo-packed hour covers the topics of gear, efficiency, fishing dries, nymphing, fishing streamers, fighting big fish and a lot more.
The presentation attempts to both inform anglers about how to catch more trout and inspire them to wade into a river and try something new. Ultimately, this series of tips is about how to better enjoy our time on the water.
Fifty Tips moves fast, covering a lot of ground. And all the tips are designed to urge an angler to look deeper and get more from fly fishing.
Please join us Thursday, February 10th, at 7:30 on Zoom. You should receive an email from our president, Jim Langell, with all the details just before the Zoom meeting.
