After giving a great presentation on entomology, Jesse is back to provide solid basic information for enthusiasts just starting to fly fish as well as some great nuggets for the more experienced crew – definitely something for everyone. This will be a information packed presentation taking 45 min with 5 minute Q&A either during or after – he will touch on a lot of topics and concepts related to catching more trout.
Club Member Jesse Collins is a former guide who first started guiding on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula in 2007. He grew up within walking distance of the Chattahoochee River and started flyfishing when his grandfather took him to see the premier of “River Runs Through It” in 1992. For over 30 years Jesse has been tying flies and fly fishing and has fished all over America from the southeast tailwaters like the Taccoa, Chattahoochee, and South Holston Rivers, to the Great Lakes Tributaries, Pennsylvania Spring Creeks, Appalachian Freestones, Western rivers like the Madison, Yellowstone, and the Beaverhead, all the way to Alaska. He is passionate about all things fly fishing and one of his favorite places in the world is Alaska where he makes it back every year.
