Join the NSRWA and Mass Audubon for this winter’s eight-part educational WaterWatch Lecture Series 2025.

Vincent Battista, epidemiologist, conservationist, and the interim president of South Shore Fly Casters, will teach us all about brook trout. Brook trout (S. fontinalis) are a cherished native game fish that has responded brilliantly to local conservation efforts. In Southern New England, there is a long tradition of targeting wild brookies in small creeks and streams where conventional angling methods are neither efficient (e.g. dry flies) nor particularly sustainable (e.g. live bait). This talk will review methods for safely targeting, catching, and releasing wild brook trout in our local ‘hidden gem’ streams.

All lectures will be available on Zoom for FREE
