NAT GREENE CALENDAR |

March 8, 2011 -
Speaker: Jim Brady, PhD
scientist, fly tyer, and legendary raconteur, will bring his data driven
approach to shad and striped bass fly fishing on the Roanoke River. In Jim's
world, he does only what works with no fuss and no muss. Not all parts of the
Roanoke are created equal. Using the Google Maps satellite images, Jim will
reveal the secrets of the Roanoke honey holes, why they hold fish and how to
make an effective presentation with the right fly. If you have never experienced
catching 50 fish in four hours, Jim will show you how. This year could be your
year on the Roanoke.
All are welcome.

Pisgah Fly Masters Tournament: (PDF
Flyer) The Pisgah Fly Masters was started in March 2008 by the
Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and Davidson River Outfitters, as a
fundraiser for the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education. The Pisgah Center is a
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission visitor and learning facility
located on the Davidson River near Brevard. The Center offers free programming
for children and adults; on aquatic habitats, fly fishing, and fly tying.
Our goal is to raise awareness and funding for education about conservation and
coldwater fisheries.
April 12, 2011 -
Speaker: Scott Cunningham of Wilson Creek Outfitters will show why
river smallmouth bass can be so exciting. Most people think trout when they
think of flyfishing, until they hook into a hard fighting river smallmouth bass.
Scott will show us how to wade and float these bigger rivers. Self bailing rafts
offer the ultimate float; nice high swivel seat which allows you to "sight
fish", larger water coverage, and access to remote river stretches. Scott will
also explain why overnight floats are so much fun. Float fish 4-5 miles, stop
for the evening, relax while your guide sets up camp, sit around the campfire
and talk about the day's highlights while your guide prepares dinner. In the
morning, after a light breakfast head back out on to the river for a second day
of fishing.
All are welcome.

Nat Greene
Flyfishers is the Greensboro, NC affiliate chapter of both
Trout Unlimited (TU) and the
Federation of Fly Fishermen (FFF), national conservation organizations
dedicated to maintaining our cold water resources. Past club conservation
efforts have included stream cleanups, stream restoration, and support of
local, state, and national fish and wildlife agencies in an effort to
insure the preservation of our cold water fisheries.
Nat Greene takes
an active role in educating our local children, adults, and scouting
organizations in the principles of conservation, ecosystem management, and
in introducing them to the enjoyment of tying, casting, and fishing
artificial flies. In addition to providing financial and volunteer
assistance to conservation groups, the club arranges numerous "fun"
fishing outings throughout the year. Also, our more experienced members
share their expertise with fly tying, casting, fishing techniques, rod
building, and other activities with the entire club. We welcome your
support and participation!
The Nat Greene
Flyfishers hold their monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each
month. Everyone is welcome to attend -- you need not be a member!
Refer to our
calendar for information regarding
date, time, and featured speaker at the monthly meeting.
