Area fly fishing program tomorrow night

Southern Conservation Trust is pleased to present fly fishing guide Kent Edmunds, who’s willing to share his secrets (most of them!) for great fly fishing on the Flint and Chattahoochee River south of Metro Atlanta.  This month’s free Nature Discovery program will be Thursday, Sept. 22 in Peachtree City

“Most folks don’t know it, but the Flint River offers perfect fly fishing for the rare native shoal bass, a relatively small species that offers a long and strong fight,” says Edmunds.

Kent, based in LaGrange, Georgia, is a full-time guide and instructor certified by the Federation of Fly Fishers.  He has fished the streams and lakes of Georgia for over 30 years. His fly fishing experience ranges from Montana to the Caribbean to Hawaii, and his articles have appeared in national and regional fly fishing and outdoor magazines.

 Learn about the shoal bass, sunfish, and more at Thursday’s program, and attend SCT’s Fall Benefit, Growing Greenspace, on Saturday October 1st, to bid at the Silent Auction on a half day guided fishing trip for two with Kent. 

Southern Conservation Trust is a nonprofit land trust that owns and manages over 600 acres of nature preserves in Fayette County.  SCT also works with willing landowners to protect scenic open space through legal tools, such as conservation easements, that can provide tax benefits for the property owner.

The Nature Discovery program will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 22 at the Flat Creek Nature Center building, next to the Frederick Brown amphitheatre, at 201 McIntosh Trail in Peachtree City.  The presentation is free, and suitable for ages 12 and older.
