I will be giving a presentation on fly fishing from kayaks, float tubes, and other portable watercraft for the Ernest Schwiebert Chapter of Trout Unlimited in Princeton, NJ.

There is no need to hang up your fly rod or travel to remote destinations once the water gets too warm to fish for trout.  Warm water and saltwater fly fishing offers fantastic fly fishing opportunities.  The downside is accessing these fisheries is not as easy as wading a trout stream.  Shorelines of lakes and ponds are often choked with vegetation, making casting difficult.  Fish are often just outside of casting range when fishing in the salt.  A  kayak or float tube can solve all of these problems. Modern fishing kayaks, float tubes, and pontoon boats are stable, comfortable, and easily transportable. This presentation will cover all the ins and outs of fishing from a kayak, as well as recommendations and tips for rigging the perfect fly-fishing watercraft.  

The meeting will take place on April 8, 2024at the D&R Greenway Land Trust, Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton, NJ.  The doors open at 6:00 pm and the presentation will begin after a short business meeting. These meetings are free and open to the public.
