Event: Monthly Meeting
Guest: Patrick Weaver Date: February 17, 2026 Time: 6:30pm - 8pm, come at 6pm for dinner/social time Location: Little Richard's BBQ, 109 S Stratford Rd, Winston-Salem, NC The Hatches of Pisgah Forest is a presentation on the aquatic insect life in the rivers of North Carolina and the flies that imitate them to catch trout. Every angler wants to know which fly to use to catch trout. Patrick will present the key insects and flies that work, but more importantly, the concept of seasons and how seasons affect where and the time of day you should fish. Understanding the five seasons in a year will help you narrow your fly selection and help you quickly discern the fly the trout are eating. Patrick will also discuss where you will find specific insects and which flies to use on various water types. Overall, Patrick will introduce a process of observation and discernment to help you select an appropriate fly for the given situation. |
