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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our September 17th dinner speaker will be Grant Alvis. &nbsp; Grant will offer an afternoon session on &#8216;Rigging kayaks for fishing&#8217;.
