Note:
This Jan 19 meeting was originally announced as a hybrid format with options to attend via Zoom or In-Person. Due to the unexpected and extreme Covid surge, the OBTU Board unanimously decided to cancel the option to attend “In-Person”. We hope to return to a “Hybrid” or “In-Person” meeting format in February.

Speaker: Dustan Harley, Ripple Guide Service
Topic: “Pro It Up Fly Fishing”
After over 20 years of guiding fly fishermen, I have learned a thing or two about taking your skills to the next level. This program details all of the little tricks and tips to “pro up” your fly fishing game.
Dustan Harley was born less than a mile from the Saint Joseph River and can’t remember a time when he wasn’t on the river fishing. He grew up fishing on the rivers of Indiana and Michigan and is lucky enough today to spend most days on those same rivers. He founded Ripple Guide Service in 1999 to give fishermen an unforgettable experience.
