Connor Murphy, Fisheries Biologist
“Tips and Tricks to Catch More Trout”
Connor Murphy is a Fort Collins native and life-long angler. Connor currently works full-time as a fisheries biologist for FlyWater inc., a local river restoration firm, but has been working in the fly fishing industry in some capacity since the age of 14. Connor has guided in Colorado, Alaska, Wyoming and Utah over the course of his career and continues to guide and teach at St. Pete’s to this day. Fly fishing in general has been an all consuming passion for Connor for decades and no facet of the sport has he spent more time studying and refining than technical trout fishing.

This Month’s FLY SWAP:
November Fly Swap
Blue Winged Olives, (BWO) or Baetis Nymphs
The fly for the November general meeting is a favorite Blue Winged Olives, (BWO) or Baetis Nymphs fly, such as a BWO Sparkle Dun, CDC Comparadun, Barr's Emerger, Disco Baetis, Juju Baetis, etc. Please let Dave Morse know if you would like to tie this fly for the Swap. As usual, you are asked to tie enough copies of your fly so everyone will get one of yours. In return you will get one from each other tier. Include a little recipe or toe tag, attached to your fly with details of what materials were used. Submit your flies at the start of the November meeting to me in a container with your name on it and I will sort them for all participants, returning your new flies to you at the meeting. So send me an email at dgmorse45@gmail.com if you will participate this month. Typically, we have 6 to 8 participants, but I will let you know the right number a week before the meeting.
Thanks for sharing. It is a lot of fun and is educational. Dave Morse, Swap Coordinator.
