April 10, 2012 - We are
pleased to have Anthony Hipps talking about Specialized Fly Fishing Techniques
for River Smallmouth Bass Anthony is a fish predator; if it swims,he is going to
catch it no matter how lowly the species. Anthony will briefly discuss the
traditional fly fishing techniques to catch this wonderful game fish. His
primary goal will be to provide a fresh perspective into the specialized
techniques and presentations he uses for catching river smallmouth bass. These
techniques are not often discussed in the fly fishing literature or videos.
While this presentation is about fly fishing for smallmouth bass, the techniques
discussed will also be a valuable addition to the trout fisherman’s repertoire
of techniques. His biggest trout in 2012 (a 24-inch rainbow) was caught using a
specialized fly and retrieve technique called the “Fleeing Crayfish” which he
had used to catch a 16-inch long smallmouth bass out of the same run just 5
minutes earlier. Anthony Hipps is the 2010-2012 Federation of Fly Fishers
Southeastern Council (FFF-SEC) President. He has served on the Federation of Fly
Fishers- Southeastern Council Board of Directors and tied flies at the FFF-SEC
conclaves since 1999. He is a professional speaker, tier and tying instructor
and has taught numerous tying classes. He has also presented numerous tying and
fly fishing seminars to clubs and fly fishing events around the USA. In 2004 he
was a featured tier on the Outdoor Life Network’s (now Versus Network) Flyfish
TV Magazine. He has been nationally recognized for his spun deer-hair bass
flies, smallmouth bass nymphs, saltwater streamers and especially his unique
soft-bodied foam poppers. He has served as the Federation of Fly
Fishers-Southeastern Council Conclave Fly Tying Co-Chair 2003-2006 and Conclave
Chairman 2010. At the June 2007 FFF-SEC Conclave Anthony was awarded “The
Presidents Award” for outstanding service to the FFF-SEC. Anthony has authored
five articles for Fly Tyer Magazine since 2006 and is currently working on a
warmwater fly tying book. Anthony also contributed several articles that were
published in Bob Clouser’s book, Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass. Anthony is a
member of the Nat Greene Fly Fishers, Greensboro, NC and has served terms as
president, vice-president, program chairman, Boy Scouts Fly Fishing Merit Badge
Instructor, and club fly tying instructor. Anthony is a professional consultant
for Dr. Slick Company fly tying tools and proudly serves as a volunteer fly
tying instructor for the Wounded Warriors Program out of Fort Bragg,
Fayetteville, NC. All are welcome.

Nat Greene
Flyfishers is the Greensboro, NC affiliate chapter of both
Trout Unlimited (TU) and the
Federation of Fly Fishermen (FFF), national conservation organizations
dedicated to maintaining our cold water resources. Past club conservation
efforts have included stream cleanups, stream restoration, and support of
local, state, and national fish and wildlife agencies in an effort to
insure the preservation of our cold water fisheries.
Nat Greene takes
an active role in educating our local children, adults, and scouting
organizations in the principles of conservation, ecosystem management, and
in introducing them to the enjoyment of tying, casting, and fishing
artificial flies. In addition to providing financial and volunteer
assistance to conservation groups, the club arranges numerous "fun"
fishing outings throughout the year. Also, our more experienced members
share their expertise with fly tying, casting, fishing techniques, rod
building, and other activities with the entire club. We welcome your
support and participation!
The Nat Greene
Flyfishers hold their monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each
month. Everyone is welcome to attend -- you need not be a member!
Refer to our
calendar for information regarding
date, time, and featured speaker at the monthly meeting.
