Central Ohio Fly Fishers

Old Bag of Nails – Hilliard | April 8, 2025

For our April meeting, Christian Price will be speaking on fly fishing for Smallmouth bass. Christian is the former president of the Land of Legends fly fishing group, and a self proclaimed expert of guide flies and streamer enthusiast. He plans to cover the basics of fly fishing for smallmouth, which should be great for those new to targeting the species, and of course, a good refresher for those already familiar. Timing could also not be better as smallmouth season is about to be in full swing!

As usual, we will start gathering at 6 pm with the presentation starting around 7 pm.

For our March meeting, our very own Steve Parker will be giving a short presentation on targeting Carp on the fly. This should be a great follow up presentation to the February meeting when Ethan Simmons spoke on non-traditional sport fishes of Central Ohio.

Following Steve’s presentation, we will also be holding a raffle for various fly fishing related prizes. Raffle tickets will be sold as one for $1, or six for $5.

As usual, we will start gathering at 6 pm with the presentation starting around 7 pm.
