I know the summer is ending, the kids are back in school, and the best fishing of the year is beginning. Here’s hoping you find time to fish now that the crowds are diminished.
Rocky Mountain Flycasters (RMF), your chapter of Trout Unlimited had a very busy and productive summer. Even though we were not having general meetings, we were busy with volunteer activities. I am so impressed with the number of our members who came out to help with the many summer activities.
We cleaned Narrows Park on the Big Thompson. We sponsored Dominick DeGregorio to the state TU camp, where our own Dennis Cook was an instructor. Dennis and his 25+ volunteers successfully held our own River Conservation and Fly Fishing Camp for 9 very enthusiastic kids in July. We had 25 volunteers help the CDOW relocate brown trout from a 0.6 mile stretch of the Poudre to start a study of how a whirling disease resistant strain of rainbow trout adapt and sustain their population. This study has state wide implications and I was proud of our chapter’s involvement.
But our summer of volunteerism is not over, and this publication calls again for your help. We need help on September 11, 18, and 25. All are worthy activities and merit our involvement. Please see our volunteer page and sign up for what you can do.
Greg Evans, and your Board, has enlisted some quality speakers as we begin to have monthly meetings. Ty Churchwell in September on fishing the four corners area, Scott Lazarowicz in October on choices for fishing in Alaska, and Landon Mayer will share his knowledge and experience at the November meeting. Please get these meetings on your calendar and bring a friend or two.
RMF is becoming a very active chapter and we are accomplishing some long sought after goals. We can only grow through the efforts of our members, and, judging from this summer, I am confident we will continue. I’m looking forward to seeing you at the meetings and activities. Thank you all for your involvement.
