Upcoming Chapter Events & Meetings
June 15 - Matt Evans, Fishing Catawba Tailrace
My name is Matt Evans. I have been fly fishing for 15 years and I am the owner of The Catawba Angler. Sharing the sport of fishing with others has been my greatest joy in life besides knowing Jesus Christ. I grew up in Old Fort, North Carolina and have fished any moving water within a 50 mile radius. My love for fishing has taken me many different places. The farthest being Ashton, Idaho where I worked and guided for Three Rivers Ranch on the famous Henry’s Fork River. The mountains of western North Carolina has always been on my mind, and it is here I feel most comfortable guiding clients on the creeks and rivers that I grew up fishing with my father. My favorite fishing is deep in the Pisgah National Forest chasing wild brook trout. My favorite river is definitely the Catawba! I have a lovely wife named Courtney who loves fishing just as much as myself.
Presentation:
The presentation will be on the different fishing opportunities available on the Catawba Tailrace during the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. I will discuss the history of the fishery as well as the environmental challenges the fishery faces.
I will also highlight some of the other fishing opportunities available in McDowell County. Specifically Curtis Creek, Newberry Creek, and the Catawba River.
For Chapter Meetings that are remote a Zoom link will be emailed prior to the meeting.

COVID-19 UPDATE:
“Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at a higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. People who are at higher risk are encouraged to avoid crowds as much as possible.”
For that reason, all in-person chapter meetings, are cancelled through December.
Small group outings may proceed with all of the proper precautions taken about social distancing.
