Browns & Brews Speaker Series-Jan 2024

The Saint Vrain Angler Chapter of Trout Unlimited is happy to host Ben McGee  on January 16th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm for an educational experience and fly-tying demonstration that you won't want to miss, covering the physics of nymphing and methods for fly selection. Ben is a career scientist in aquatic ecosystems health monitoring and has been one of Colorado's top euro and euro-hybrid fly fishing instructors and innovative tyer for over a decade.  This course and tying demonstration is suitable for all levels of angler experience. For this course, Ben will discuss and demonstrate streamflow types and hydrodynamics, sink rates and resistance, and the control points of various nymphing methods. He will demonstrate the displacement of various leader and tippet materials as well as cover some common misconceptions of the nymphing community. Ben will then transition into a fly-tying demonstration to quickly show you some classics and take a deep dive into some of his newest creations. All while continuing the discussion of "hard flies vs soft flies" fly selection for different streamflow conditions and habitat types. See you January 16th at Grossenbart Brewery!!
