April 14, at 7 p.m., at Sea Dog Brewing Co., Georges River Trout Unlimited (GRTU) members Thierry and Carmen Bombeke will share photos and insights on fly fishing in New Zealand. The couple recently completed their third consecutive trip to New Zealand where they have successfully “cracked the code” for catching the legendary trophy brown trout for which the country is renowned. They will share a variety of photos, stories, strategies and experiences that cover both the angling and cultural aspects of their adventures. 

The Bombekes live and work in Camden and spend most of their free time exploring the outdoors, near and far. A structural engineer at Gartley & Dorsky, Carmen moonlights as a Registered Maine Guide for hunting, fishing and recreation; Thierry is a lifelong outdoorsman and the Brand Manager for Shooting Sportsman Magazine, published locally by Down East Enterprise. Both are longtime GRTU members.

The GRTU meeting April 14 will be held upstairs at Sea Dog Brewing Co., 1 Main Street, Camden. The meeting will start at 6 p.m., with “Trout Talk,” an informal gathering for those who wish to visit before the presentation. The formal meeting and featured presentation begin at 7 p.m. GRTU conducts a raffle directly following the speaker.

GRTU meetings are free and open to the public.
