This month's speaker is Duane Redford, author and guide for Minturn Anglers. Duane will be sharing his wealth of knowledge on the South Platte River with us at our regular meeting place (7899 S Lincoln Ct, Littleton) on April 15th at 7pm.Duane Redford began fly fishing at the age of ten and fueled his passion in the lakes and streams in the mountains of Arizona. He feels fortunate to have fished all over the Rocky Mountain West. As a retired public school teacher and coach, Duane finds that his passion for fly fishing and his enthusiasm for teaching, work collaboratively in taking his clients to new heights. Don’t let his quick to smile, laid back style fool you, he is one serious angler.
His first book on fly fishing, The Fly Fisher’s Playbook: a Systematic Approach to Nymphing, was nearly five years in the making. Because of his coaching background, Duane has a knack for breaking things down systematically. He helps his guests learn to “read” trout defenses, and employ strategies for success. “Once you are able to incorporate fundamental nymphing skills with a systematic approach, you will begin to really enjoy the sport.” Duane has also writes regularly on a blog called FlyFishersPlaybook, check it out.When he’s not guiding, Duane spends his time teaching fly fishing classes, filming, writing or fly fishing. Duane lives in Conifer, Colorado with his family.I hope you can join us at 7pm (6:30pm for story telling) on April 15th at 7899 S Lincoln Ct, Littleton.
