Chasing Redfish, Albies & Wild Stories with Perry McDougald

It’s been a while since we’ve had a guest speaker focused on the Crystal Coast, and we’ve got a good one lined up. Join us as we welcome Perry McDougald — guide at McFlyFishing and owner of Sound Side Outfitters — for a deep dive into life on the water, running a fly shop, and chasing some of the most exciting species North Carolina has to offer.

Perry’s bringing stories, insights, and plenty of tips, including:

• What it’s like to stalk redfish on the flats
• How to prepare for chasing albies when the blitz is on
• Advice for anyone stepping on a skiff for the first time
• The highs, lows, and unexpected wins of running a fly shop
• A peek behind the scenes of events like Skiffapalooza, fly tying nights, and other local happenings

If you’ve ever thought about exploring saltwater fly fishing or just want to hear some wild guide stories — this is the meeting to make. Good food, cold drinks, and a night full of fishing talk.
