Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating - Connecticut Fly Fishermen's Association...

Anyone here belong to the Connecticut Fly Fishermen's Association?

As I mentioned in a post below, I am considering moving from spinning to the fly in the spring and will be getting some fly fisihng knowledge over the winter to see if I really want to make the switch. (Books, beginner class, seminars, ...)

Along the line of seminars, thought I'd pass this along:
