Our September 17th dinner speaker will be Grant Alvis.
Grant will offer an afternoon session on ‘Rigging kayaks for fishing’.
His evening talk will revolve around fly fishing for redfish from a kayak.
Some info about Grant:
My name is Grant Alvis. I have been fishing ever since I can remember, and fly fishing for about 11 years now. I am currently a holder of 17 different Virginia species citations from both fresh and saltwater, and I am working towards becoming a Virginia Freshwater Master Angler level 3. For 4 years I have been a part time guide as well as involved in tagging programs with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. I have been kayak fishing for 4 years and as of February 2015 I am now a member of the Hobie Kayak Fishing Team. Fly fishing out of a kayak has been a personal favorite of mine and it has become more addicting than I ever thought possible. The combination of hooking strong fish, on light gear, in a kayak, it just doesn’t get any better than that! Skinny water Redfish as well as Spring Stripers have become two of my personal favorite targets on the fly. I look forward to sharing some information about how I like to rig a kayak to target them, as well as what it takes and where to go for these fish! I look forward to coming by to present and getting to meet all of you.
