Fly fishing — what is it? how do you do it? where do you do it? Bruce Turner will discuss how to get involved in the wonderful sport of fly fishing. He will talk about equipment, fly selection for different species of fish, local as well as other destinations to fly fish and what to expect once you are on the water with a fly rod. Admission is free, but registration is required. Donations are greatly appreciated. Talks will be hybrid, and participants will be able to walk through the grounds at The Watershed Institute.
A New Jersey native, Turner has always been involved in fly fishing throughout his life. He caught his first bluegill at age 4 and has traveled the world to fly fish. His passion included co-ownership of a fly shop in Pennington for 13 years. But in the more than 50 years he’s been fishing, teaching the sport he loves to others is what gives him the most
satisfaction: “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to work with a
customer who is just getting started in fly fishing. I love sharing my knowledge and pointing them in the right direction.” And pointing them in the right direction is what Bruce does best at Orvis Princeton.
So, whether you’ve been fishing for as long as Bruce has, or if you’ve never even picked up a fly rod, Bruce looks forward to having the chance to help you out, give you the guidance you need, and put you on the path to
your next angling adventure.
