DECEMBER 2023 MEETING

MAKING SENSE OF COLOR IN YOUR FLY TYING & FLY FISHING!

W/ CAPT. RAY STACHLECK

Tuesday, December 19th – starting at 6:30pm

• What colors do fish see?
• What colors will attract fish to my flies?

Come and find out what fish see, and how
you can be more successful in your fishing by
using the right color flies at the right time of day!

Let’s clear the air (or should we say water) about color in liquid media? What do fish
actually see in their environment that’s quite different than ours? How are true colors
and imaging affected by motion and light refraction? How do fish behave with constant
changes of the color spectrum? What do they see with objects/images under motion?
Much of the information we receive is antidotal in nature based on our observation and
experiences. Could there be a more factual scientific explanation available to help the
angler? We’ll try to dispel some of these common myths with factual based scientific
evidence to help the angler understand more fully how fish might see our world.

So, please join us on Dec 20th! There will be some great bucket raffles,
and we will have some Hot Coffee & Christmas cookies….plus liquid
refreshments are always available from Jim, our capable barkeeper!!
