This month's speaker is Anita Coulton on Dry Fly Strategies for the Upper Delaware

Some of the most technical dry fly fishing in the US is on the Upper Delaware system. Come out and learn a few tips from Anita Coulton, Orvis Endorsed guide with Cross Current Outfitters. Anita spends over 150 days/season on the water. She’ll be here to share her dry fly tips and tactics to help you catch those wary wild trout.

Anita will cover:

Recommended gear including rod, leader, tippet
The power of observation and what it can teach you
Reading water, positioning, and casting for success.
Confidence patterns as well as material recommendations for wary trout
Hook setting, the do’s and don’t
And much more.

Anita’s journey with a fly rod began at age 3 when her father, an avid outdoorsman, sat her on the bank with a tattered Zebco rod. A deep love for the outdoors was born, and more importantly, a passion to pursue anything that could be caught with a fishing rod. Her extensive fly fishing experience spans over
20 years and she is comfortable in both fresh and saltwater. A former competitive angler, she has fished alongside some of the World’s best. In 2017, she earned the title of NJ Flyfisherman of the year. Anita is a graduate of Reel Women Guide School, based in Montana. She is proud to be an Orvis Endorsed Guide with Cross Current Guide Service, and in season you can find her navigating her Clackacraft on the Upper Delaware River, chasing some of the toughest brown trout around. In addition to guiding, Anita is active with Casting for Recovery and has been involved for over 10 years. She is also an avid writer and contributor for magazines such as Dun Magazine and Fly Fisherman.
