Adventures de Taos Lecture This Saturday, June 8th

Fly Fishing: A Peaceful Adventure
with Taylor Streit, Author and Fly Fisherman
Saturday, June 8th from 1:30-3:30 in the community room





Long time fly fishing guide and author Taylor Streit will give two back-to-back presentations on June 8th at Taos Public Library based on two of his books. The first will be a slide show from Fly Fishing New Mexico. With the auspicious timing of the event—at the beginning of the trout fishing in our ar-ea—he will place special emphasis on streams just beyond casting range of Taos such as the Chama, Conejos and San Juan Rivers. Questions will be taken followed by demonstrations from Instinctive Fly Fishing II . Taylor has done this demo for fly fishing shows and clubs across the U.S. It is not your basic ten to two casting demonstration but more about the nuances of fly fishing casts and maneuvers; op-erations that must be learned along with a proper casting stroke. You will get to witness famous casts like the “Cimarron Sling” the “lift and snap” and the “dying cobra”.

Taylor has been guiding fly fishers in Northern New Mexico for 30 years and is a "Legendary Guide" in the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. His son Nick runs Taos Fly Shop and was on the U.S. Junior Fly fishing team that placed second in the world competition of 1998.
