Edutain Your Group with One of Scott's Awesome AV Presentations

Spending many days on the river each year gives Scott plenty of opportunities for writing ideas and photography. He has produced many multimedia presentations which are both entertaining and educational and has spoken at fly-fishing clubs, Trout Unlimited chapters, and community groups in Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas as well as many meetings in Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. He can custom tailor a presentation for die-hard anglers or general audiences. Scott is continually updating and adding new content to these presentations.

Presentations are available on:

• Fly-fishing the White River Tailwater System - An introductory presentation about fly-fishing the White River system. Covers wade safety and generation to options for boating and matching hatches and bait fish forms. A favorite presentation with fly-fishing clubs and conservation groups. Contains a lot of compressed content. Allow a full hour for this program.
  

• The 2008 White River Floods - The historic floods of 2008 produced record spillway releases from four of the five White River dams. Record rainfall and the aftermath flooding rivaled the historic flood of 1982. Scott puts the floods of 2008 in historical context and discusses how the White River system dams both prevented and contributed to the massive spring flooding problems during this historic year. Photos of all the spillway releases, historic documentation, and personal time on the river tell a story of Arkansas tailwater extremes.
