CCTU JULY CHAPTER MEETING

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 7PM – ZOOM MEETING ONLY (NOT IN-PERSON)

MICHELE WHITE, TUMBLING TROUT FLY SHOP, SUBURUABLE BROOKIE VENUS IN SOUTHPARK

Michele White is a retired geologist and the owner of Tumbling Trout fly shop in Lake George, Colorado.  She is a fly fishing guide and has been fly fishing and rowing a river dory with her husband on the Great Rivers of the West for more than 20 years.  She also serves as V.P. of Education for the Pikes Peak Chapter of Trout Unlimited in Colorado Springs and volunteers on regional conservation projects.

 Her presentation will focus on the many brookie fishing venues in South Park that are easily accessible in a sedan type of car with public access to streamside fishing with parking, toilets, and maintained footpaths.  These high alpine creeks and ponds are a great way to escape the summer fishing pressure we see at better known fly fishing venues in South Park, such as the Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Canyon. Another positive aspect of fly fishing for brookies at these higher elevations, is that the air temperature is cooler and the air quality is wonderful above the haze of smoke during wildfire season.  The presentation is based upon her book of the same name, that you can pick up at the Tumbling Trout website at https://www.tumblingtrout.com/product-page/subaru-able-brookie-venues-in-south-park-colorado-by-michele-white.  The next time you are in Lake George, stop by Tumbling Trout at 38283 Hwy 24 in Lake George.
