At the Tuesday, May 29, 2018 monthly meeting of the Texas Fly Fishers we are fortunate to have two fine speakers.

In that regard, Ron has been fly fishing and fly tying since he was 13 years old – for 46 years. He has fly fished from British Colombia to Belize and many places in between. He specializes in salt water flats fishing along the Texas Gulf Coast and has designed many unique patterns for this area. He has been featured in Fly Tyer Magazine and On The Fly Magazine and is a Fly Designer for Umpqua. Ron is also a Certified Fly Casting Instructor and leads the Southside Fly Casting group where TFF members can meet for fly casting instructions. Ron’s presentation will be on where and how to catch one of the rarest fish in North America, the Montana Arctic Grayling.
