Our January 22nd meeting speaker is Jim Gray, who has extensive knowledge on the sport of carp fishing, you do not want to miss this. Carp get pretty large and are very fun to catch.
Jim has been fly fishing, fly tying and rod building for over 30 years, the last 20 based in the Central Texas Hill Country. Jim is an active member of the Austin Fly Fishers and the FFI Texas Council, and has served as both the President and Vice President of each. Jim is a frequent presenter at Texas, Louisiana and Florida fly fishing clubs, giving presentations on Hill Country rivers, tying Hill Country flies, fly fishing for carp, fly fishing England and fly fishing for exotics in South Florida. Jim and Jeff Hoelter designed the Llanolope, one of the most popular flies in Central Texas. Jim also developed the Jim’s Damsel and the SB100. Most weekends you can find Jim fishing the Llano or Colorado River, or when conditions are right, chasing carp on smaller streams and lakes.
Jim’s presentation will be a practical guide to catching carp on local lakes and rivers. Jim has caught over 1000 carp on fly and will share his proven techniques.
