Ted Trueblood Chapter Meeting

Program Topic: Selective Trout

We enjoy fly fishing because it is fun. However we have all experienced that trout on that difficult stream that is sipping something that we can hardly see and just cant get the fly pattern right or the drift is slightly off. Fooling these trout is the ultimate reward in our sport. I designed this presentation to help you catch that fish that keeps giving you the middle fin. This presentation has a little bit of everything. I will go through fly selection, rise forms, casting techniques, fly presentation and the little tricks to make you a better fly fisher. I look forward to sharing knowledge with you. 

Chris Gerono: From Boise River Guides

My name is Chris Gerono and every major decision I’ve made for the last 30 years has been based on fly fishing. I have been lucky enough to have been guiding now for 23 years with 14 of those years as a Fly Fishers International certified casting instructor.  During that time I have been guiding for my passions; trout and steelhead.  The majority of this guiding has been in Montana (including Yellowstone Park), Idaho and Oregon.  Other states I’ve guided in include Colorado, Pennsylvania and of course Alaska.  I have been an avid fly tyer my entire fly fishing career, creating fly patterns and a specialty fly tying base with 3 vices for step tying.  Along with guiding I’ve been conducting fly fishing retreats, schools and classes.  Common Lines https://youtu.be/09j1Ayq-4RU is a short that was filmed during my advanced fly fishing school “trout camp” in Montana!  If you are a Hank Patterson fan, check out one of the adventures I’ve been lucky enough to take part in, https://youtu.be/B2Pr6z_c-OQ. I am also a published author and photographer.

I look forward to sharing time on the water with you!
