Ted Trueblood Chapter Calendar

JANUARY 12 MEETING
The joint meeting of the Ted Trueblood Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Boise Valley Fly Fishermen will be at 600 N. Curtis, across from West Junior High School. Fly tying at 6:30 p.m., meeting at 7:30 p.m.

Our January program will be about approaches to fly fishing for trout and whitefish during the cool time in the late fall period approaching winter, the cold of winter and then phasing into early spring. Dr. Bob Friedli of Boise State University, will present a program on "off season" fly fishing strategies, techniques, gear, and effective patterns. He'll be talking about winter time river conditions, hatches, and where fish are likely to be found in the stream. Bob will be providing this information through a Power Point media presentation. He's another local fly fishing and artist talent that we have here in our backyard. Bob will also be our featured fly tier before the meeting starts. This will be a timely program for us as those cabin fever symptoms begin to set in. Bring a friend. See you there.
