Roger Lowe Presents Smokies Patterns at the Sept Meeting
Our presenter for our Thursday, September 25, 2014, meeting at Calhoun’s in Maryville will be Roger Lowe. Please join us from 6-7pm for dinner and fellowship (dinner not required) followed by a short business meeting then Roger’s presentation. Roger Lowe may not look old enough,but he has been at the forefront of our region’s fly fishing heritage pretty much from its inception with over forty years of fly-tying experience and over twenty-six years of guiding. He has preserved and recreated the fly patterns of the Smoky Mountain flies, has developed his own flies specifically for Western North Carolina, and has even written the definitive Roger Lowe’s Fly Pattern Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains. Before there were fly shops, Roger was tying flies for local hardware stores and fishing stores to meet the demand for his successful patterns. Roger’s program will consist of fly patterns of the Smokies, stream info, fishing techniques, question and answer from people at the meeting and changes he has seen in the sport and business over the years.
See you at Calhoun’s!!!
