ROCKPORT — Georges River Trout Unlimited (GRTU) welcomes Eric Frohmberg for a talk about major categories of insect behavior, such as locomotion, respiration, reproduction and development, and how they relate to fly tying and fly fishing techniques. He will present categories of behaviors that can be recognized and acted upon while fishing, adding a competitive edge to your fly fishing.
According to GRTU, in a news release, Frohmberg has been studying entomology for… “Well, it is one of those things I never grew out of.”
He studied entomology at Kansas State University and Oberlin College before switching directions to Environmental Toxicology. Discovering fly fishing added a new dimension to his interest in entomology, eventually leading to his producing Angler’s Entomology Podcast in which he covers the major insect groups and discusses their habits and behaviors fly anglers can take advantage of – or just appreciate for their awesomeness. He is also the resident entomologist at his wife’s fly shop, Selene’s Fly Shop in Gardiner.
The GRTU meeting Monday, Feb. 13, will be held upstairs in the fly shop at Maine Sport in Rockport. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. with “Trout Talk,” an informal gathering for those who wish to visit before the presentation.
The formal meeting and featured presentation begin at 7 p.m.
GRTU conducts a raffle directly following the speaker.
TU membership is open to all. GRTU meetings are free and open to the public.
