TFF- June Meeting - Four kinds of bass. One guy. One night.
Details
Rhen Bumgardner is coming to talk to us about bass, and he's bringing the whole lineup. Largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, and striped, which is a lot of fish to fit in one talk and exactly the kind of overachieving we love to see.
Rhen guides for both Smith River Outfitters over in Virginia and Raleigh Fly Fishing right in our backyard. Between the two, he's fished the Smith, the Staunton, the Neuse, the Eno, the Cape Fear, and just about every other river that holds something worth casting at. He's been putting clients on fish for more than 15 years, and he's got the personality to match the resume.
Here's your lineup for the night:
Largemouth eats first, asks questions never. Bucket mouth, zero shame.
Smallmouth is small in name only. Pound for pound the angriest fish in the river.
Spotted is the underrated one that'll surprise you and ruin your drift before you clock it.
Striped is the river monster. The reason your backing exists.
Rhen will break down how to find them, how to fool them, and how to land them without the story getting away.
Brand new to bass on the fly or chasing river monsters for years, you'll walk out knowing more than you walked in with.
Come for the bass. Stay for Rhen.
