Our Tuesday, June 25th meeting speaker is Jerry Hamon, hope to see you there at 7:00 at the New Braunfels Public Library.
Jerry Hamon grew up in a family that enjoyed fishing and joined in that passion when he was 5 years old. He has fished coast-to-coast for much of his lifetime, but he still prefers to fish freshwater lakes and streams in Texas with a fly rod.
The Van Alstyne, Texas, resident is the President of the Texas Council of Fly Fishers International (FFI.) In September 2013, he started the Mariner Sails Kayak Fishing Club and serves as its president. In 2018, he was appointed to a second term and Chairman of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Freshwater Fisheries Advisory Committee, and also serves as an Area Chief/Angler Ed Instructor for Texas Parks & Wildlife.
When he’s not working as a Police Officer for Collin College, Jerry enjoys traveling, speaking at fly fishing club meetings and expos as well as volunteering with Heroes on the Water (DFW Chapter,) Casting for Recovery and Reel Recovery Texas. Currently active on the kayak fishing tournament trail, Jerry took first place big bass, and first place big panfish in the 2014 World Championship Bass on the Fly Tournament on Lake Fork, Texas.
Jerry and his wife, Patty, love to travel all over Texas with their two dogs, camping, kayaking and fishing.
