TEXAS NATIVE: FLY FISHING FOR RIO GRANDE CICHLIDS (REGISTRATION REQUIRED) Friday, April 30th @ 7:00 P.M. Online in partnership with Texas Parks & Wildlife
The United States has only one native species of cichlid and thankfully, it makes its home in Texas! Most fly anglers infrequently catch Rio Grande Cichlids while fishing for bass and sunfish. However, to catch them consistently, and on a year-round basis, requires an in-depth understanding of the species. Chris has caught Rio Grande Cichlids for well over 20 years, but for the last four years he has specifically targeted Rios on fly in an effort to demystify and celebrate one of Texas’ most unique native fish. This presentation is the culmination of years of study, countless days of fishing, and many long nights of fly design! Chris will cover seasonal behavioral changes, fly selection, fishing techniques, premier fishing destinations, and so much more! Whether you are trying to catch your very first Rio Grande Cichlid or you simply want to expand your knowledge of this largely misunderstood fish species, this presentation has something for you!

FLY FISHING SOUTHERN COLORADO Saturday, May 22nd @ 10:00 A.M. on Facebook & Instagram Live
It is no secret that the Lone Star State gets exceptionally hot in the summer. For that reason, many Texas residents pack up and head to Colorado for a much-needed respite from the heat! This presentation will focus solely on the southern portion of Colorado. Chris will teach you about famed rivers such as the Conejos and Rio Grande but will primarily focus on his favorite spots that are not as well known! From brown trout to native cutthroat, Chris will show you where to go and how to catch them! Trip planning, fishing destinations, local eateries, jaw-dropping scenic stops, fly selection, and a comprehensive packing list will all be covered! The pictures in this presentation alone will make you want to point your compass west! So, come ready to learn and don’t be surprised if you find your next favorite fly fishing destination as a result of this class!
