Johns Island Presbyterian Church
Congregational Care Committee Presents:
A Fishable Feast
Kirk Deeter, Author/Fly Fisherman
Talks About His Latest Book
at the JIPC Pavilion
Saturday, April 18th
2 - 4 p.m.
ALL ARE WELCOME
From crystal-chalk streams to saltwater flats, untamed jungles, and cascading mountain streams, this collection literally offers up the “tastes” of the most epic fly-fishing adventures in the world.
Fly fishing is ultimately less about catching fish and more about the experience - uniquely beautiful places and the people you meet along the way. A hugely important part of destination fishing is the post-angling gathering - often centered around local dishes. The food is what distinguishes these special places, and food is the medium through which fond memories are brought back to life.
Each of the 20 destinations in this book features stunning original photos and a unique story about a fishing adventure. And each chapter is capped off with a few recipes - ranging from appetizers to main courses, drinks, and desserts - that exude the flavors of these special places, including fresh salmon and wild mushroom tarts from Normandy, France; baked halibut with wild berry glaze from Alaska; fish tacos and shrimp guacamole from Baja California, Mexico; and much more.
Kirk is the editor-in-chief of TROUT magazine and the “vice president of angling” for Trout Unlimited. He’s also the editor of Angling Trade and a founding partner of Flylab.fish. He is the author of several books. To learn more, click here.
Whether a world-traveling angler, someone dreaming of taking a first trip, or an armchair angler or traveler, all will appreciate hearing about the complete joy of fly fishing portrayed in this presentation. This will be an interesting, entertaining, educational event for all ages.
Proceeds from any books sold at the JIPC event will be donated to the JIPC Mission and Outreach Committee for disbursement. Please call the church office to learn more and reserve your space at the picnic table! (843) 559-9380

We have formed a committee co-moderated by Tyler Jones and Nancy Ritchie to organize our activities. To start, we are hosting tours and "chats" during the next several months.
Mark Your Calendars:
