Brian O'Keefe"Fly Fishing the 3 Seasons of Alaska"Thursday, November 18th 7:00pm - 8:30 on ZOOM!
Brian O’Keefe, a self-proclaimed ski bum and fervent fly fisherman, will return to the November 18th Sunriver Anglers monthly meeting to present an overview of fly fishing the 3 seasons of Alaska. Brian is a widely published and extensively traveled fisherman who also engages in scenic nature photography, his “hobby out of control”. His work has been published in the major fishing magazines like Field and Stream, Outdoor Life and American Angler. Brian will use his more than 50 trips to Alaska to form the wealth of information he will cover with the Anglers. He has visited with the Anglers on several occasions over the years with his first discussion occurring in 1976. Brian currently lives in eastern Oregon and works for Elevenexperience, Inc. out of Colorado as a writer, photographer, and booking guide. A native Washingtonian, he has resided in several Central Oregon locations where he fully adopted the Oregonian lifestyle.
Brian intends to provide information on the geography/locations, techniques, equipment and proper lures for each of the distinct seasons of the Alaska fishing experience which runs from June 1 through October 1. In addition, he will provide his perspective on the multitude of ways to access that experience ranging from the high end guided, lodge-based excursion to the self-guided camp-out along an isolated trout stream. His main message for the Anglers is Alaska is accessible and he hopes to educate them on the short cuts, or ins and outs of traveling to one his favorite environments.
