Capt. Edward Tamson, our November speaker, has been a passionate angler and conservation advocate since his first backpacking and fly fishing trips into the California High Sierras more than five decades ago. After a successful career as a corporate consultant, he followed his passion and became a Florida fly-fishing guide who also enjoys fishing throughout the United States, Canada and the Bahamas. In order to keep his own fly casting skills tuned up he competes in (ACA) Fly Casting National Tournaments (silver & bronze medal winner). He is an FFI-certified fly casting instructor and a U.S.A. Licensed Coast Guard Captain. In brief, he is an avid and inspiring fly fishing guide and coach.

Ed’s presentation, which will be made online via Zoom on Nov. 3, will describe the challenges and joys of fly fishing throughout the extensive backcountry of the Everglades National Park. There will be vivid descriptions of the people, exotic wildlife, epic game fish and the skills, equipment, flies and boats needed to have great fun. The link for the Zoom session is below:
