[email protected] Speaker for October 2 Lou Zambello Lou’s topic will be Flyfishing in Lakes and Ponds for trout and salmon: Tactics and Fly Patterns (less crowded resource and less impacted by supreme weather!) Lou Zambello has fly fished northern New England for over 35 years and has been a registered Maine Guide for over 20 years, guiding primarily in the Rangeley area. Check out his website which contains his blog, photos, videos, and more at www.mainelyflyfishing.com. Lou has published three books; "Fly Fishing Northern New England's Seasons, How to fish ice-out, hatch season, summer, the fall spawning run, and winter. (with new bonus section on catching trophy-sized fish", "Flyfisher's Guide to New England", and "In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout: The Ultimate Handbook of Tactics, Timing, and Territory." The first is a "how-to" book of tactics and techniques to successfully fish each of the seasons. The second is a guide to thousands of waters in New England - with maps, GPS coordinates, and detailed information. The third is written for anglers looking to catch the fish of a lifetime and describes how, when, and where to catch a trophy brook trout or landlocked salmon. Lou also writes a bi-monthly fly-fishing column for The Maine Sportsman Magazine and has written for Eastern Fly Fishing magazine and American Angler. Lou worked at LLBean for over 14 yearsgiving him the opportunity to fish with and learn from a number of fly-fishing legends such as Dave Whitlock and Dick Talleur. He has traveled throughout the US and the world to pursue his passion including New Zealand, Patagonia, Labrador, Newfoundland, Russia, the Bahamas, the southeast US, southwest US, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and California. This author has been fortunate enough to catch a number of salmonids over 8 pounds including brook trout, Atlantic salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and rainbow trout. Lou gives fly-fishing presentations around the United States at fly-fishing shows, Trout Unlimited chapter meetings, fly-shops, and other fishing club events. He teaches introductory fly-fishing courses for the Maine Fly Company in Yarmouth, Maine. Election of Officers
