Please join the Stonefly Society Thursday July 19th, at 7:00pm for a special presentation on fly fishing in Chile. It will be held at our usual meeting place. http://www.stoneflysociety.org/meetingmap.htm If you have ever considered taking a trip to Chile then you shouldn't miss this special presentation.
The presentation will be called Fly Fishing in Patagonia Chile, with Gonzalo Cortes, author of the book “Fly Fishing in Patagonia Chile”; and Scott Olson, President of Patagonia Fly Fishers in Salt Lake City. They will discuss the different areas and types of water to fly fish in Chile, the geography, climate, the fish species, the hatches, the lodges available. The presentation will consist of video and slide presentation along with an ample amount of time for questions and answers.
Here are their biographies:
Scott Olson sold his portion of his family business about three years ago and is fulfilling a dream of fly fishing in Patagonia, Chile. He began the company with the goal to other fly fishers enjoy the incredible experiences of fishing there. Scott has lived and worked in Patagonia, Chile for several months the last three years. He also has a home and works out of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Gonzalo Cortes, a native Chilean, has been a serious fly fisherman for almost thirty years since he was a teenager. He is the author of the famous book “Fly Fishing in Patagonia, Chile.” He is also the owner of the Fly Shop in Santiago, Chile. His shop is the exclusive distributor for Sage Fly Rods and Simms Fishing Products for Chile and Argentina. He also is the owner of a fishing lodge in Patagonia, located in one of the most strategically located spots for flyfishers to experience the different types of water that are available in Patagonia.
We hope to see you then.
