We tie a fly to our leader and proceed to fish and that’s OK. But have you ever been curious enough to wonder how our flies compare to what trout actually eat, or what may trigger a trout to take our fly?

The Susquehanna Chapter of Trout Unlimited presents “How do effective fly patterns really compare to what trout eat” on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m. at the Covenant Central Presbyterian Church at 807 W. Fourth Street in Williamsport. Parking and entrance to the church meeting room is at the rear of the building with access off of Campbell Street.

We will dive into comparisons between natural insects and imitations, and also look at some flies that may not appear anything like what a trout might actually accept as part of its daily diet.

All are invited to attend a presentation by local fly fisherman Dave Rothrock. In addition to being a master fly fisherman and fly tier, Rothrock has also spent time as a fishing guide, an author, a competitive fly caster and has traveled both domestically and internationally to fly fish.

The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. More information can be found at https://susquehannatu.com.
