Bass Flies:How to Tie them and when to fish them with Colby Trow at Orvis Charlottesville

📅 November 5th ⏰ 6–8 PM

We’re about to take your bass fishing to the next level. Join Colby Trow of Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in-store November 5th from 6–8 PM for an in-depth look at targeting river smallmouth and largemouth bass throughout the seasons, including the flies, gear, and strategies you need to fish them effectively.

Colby will share some cutting-edge fly patterns—many of which have never been seen outside his guide box! He’ll break down the inspiration behind these flies, starting with the conventional baits that inspired them and showing how those concepts were transformed into effective fly patterns.

Come ready to learn, get inspired, and leave with plenty of new ideas for your next bass fishing adventure.
