September Speakers: Collin Illich and Nicholas Conklin
with TFO, who have a recently published book, “Fly Fishing
Pressured Waters.”
Nicholas Conklin and Collins Illich hatched the idea for Fly
Fishing Pressured Waters over a couple beers after a long day
on the Madison River. Sitting at the Gravel Bar in Ennis, MT.
They listened to another patron’s complaints about the number of boats on the water, crowded boat ramps, no parking and low
catch numbers. To them it was an epiphany. This is the world
we are fishing in now and simply complaining seemed worse
than adapting and persevering.
