February 2025 Meeting: Intro to waders and bags/How to maintain your gear

Our February meeting will have two separate but related topics.  Our first presentation will be member-led where we’ll be presenting an introduction about fishing gear for your body: waders, boots, belts, and bags.  The second part of our meeting will be presented by Kooper Tharp from Angler’s fly shop where he’ll cover tips on fly line care (please bring your reels with fly line attached), wader care and repair, and guidelines to stay safe on the river using a wading staff.

Kooper is a passionate and experienced fly-fishing guide with 6 years of expertise guiding on the water. An Idaho native, Kooper has expert knowledge of the local and nearby waters. Based in Boise, Kooper specializes in helping anglers of all skill levels connect with nature while pursuing trout, steelhead and other local species. Known for his patience, in-depth knowledge of local rivers and streams, and personalized teaching style, Kooper ensures every trip is both educational and memorable.
