Guest Speaker: Jerrod Vila
Techniques for Advanced Tight Line Nymphing
Jerrod Vila stems from generations of avid outdoorsman. From a very young age, he began his journey rock hopping pint-sized Adirondack blue lines in onesie feet pajamas while in pursuit of four-inch brook trout, he never looked back. An old beat up fly rod and an Uncle’s farm pond full of largemouth bass started a self taught infatuation at 6 or 7 years of age, that to this very day, some 35 years later still holds the dearest place in his heart.
Jerrod is member of the New York State Outdoor Guide’s Association (NYSOGA), Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers (AGLOW), and a board member of the New York State Outdoor Writer’s Association (NYSOWA.) He has authored the weekly outdoor column for the The Daily Gazette, Amsterdam Recorder and Leader Herald going on 10 years. He is also a multimedia sales representative for Outdoor News and writes for the publication as well.
Aside from writing and flyfishing, he also finds true passion within the confines of the kitchen exhibiting an appreciation of eclectic cuisine from all around the globe; and taking the phrase, “From Field To Fork” quite literally.
Presentation will cover "Techniques for advanced tight line nymphing"
Will go into depth about equipment, presentation, leader building, tippet, knots, fly selection, reading water and more for various trout streams around the Northeast.
