CCTU SEPTEMBER CHAPTER MEETING – VIRTUAL MEETING VIA ZOOM
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 7PM ON ZOOM
PROGRAM – RON BELAK, FLY FISHING THE BACKCOUNTRY OF ARGENTINA, ALASKA, AND COORADO WITHOUT BUSTING YOUR BUTT
Join us for a fun and informative presentation by Ron Belak entitled “Fly Fishing the Backcountry of Argentina, Alaska and Colorado without Busting Your Butt.” The show will focus on places to go and how to fish without having to expend the physical exertion often associated with forays into the backcountry. The backcountry allows anglers to get away from the crowds while enjoying spectacular scenery and catching some large trout. The alternative to long hikes, of course, is horses, drift boats and airplanes. Ron will walk, or perhaps motorize, us through locations to fish in the Flat Tops of Colorado, the Patagonia region of Argentina and the Kenai Peninsula and Lake Iliamna areas of Alaska.
Ron Belak is an award-winning writer and photographer from Evergreen, Colorado. His new book, “Fly Fishing Colorado’s Backcountry, consists of over 40 how-to articles he published in Colorado Outdoors magazine from 1994 to 2018. He has fished the Colorado backcountry for 40 years, hitting about 400 different Colorado high lakes and reservoirs, as well as others in Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, British Columbia and Argentina. Educated as a scientist with degrees in geology and significant coursework in the biological sciences, he approaches fly fishing from an analytical perspective, trying to decide what strategies, techniques, equipment and patterns work and what is the scientific basis for why they work. Ron’s writing has appeared in Colorado Outdoors, Fly Fisherman, and American Angler magazines.
The meeting will be held on Zoom, starting at 7pm on Tuesday, September 15. The Zoom meeting portal will open at 6:30pm, feel free to pop in early and talk with various CCTU members.
