Guest speaker this month : Cassio Silva

Our speaker for the March 16 meeting will be San Antonio-based fishing guide Cassio Silva. Just in time for our Colorado Bend outing, Cassio is going to present techniques for fishing for white bass and other local species.

Cassio grew up on a small island in Brazil, fishing has always been part of his life. Cassio’s father, an avid diver and spear fisherman, sparked a passion for the water and pursuing fish that still burns strong today. After picking up a fly rod, this passion grew and has taken him on some of his greatest adventures. From salmon fishing in British Columbia, chasing trout from Colorado to Montana, and pursuing saltwater species on the Texas Coast and beyond.
Prior to guiding and teaching others about fly fishing, Cassio spent many years in the classroom as a high school History and Social Studies teacher. Guiding allows him to combine two devotions, fishing and teaching. With this background, he works with both novice and experienced anglers of all ages, teaching new skills, sharing his knowledge, catching fish and making memories!

Our monthly meeting will be held at the Northwest Recreation Center. Meetings formally begin at 7:00pm, but we often offer casting demonstrations beforehand. Visitors and guests are welcome. Doors at 6:00pm.
