Trout Unlimited meeting
The Clear Fork River Chapter of Trout Unlimited will meet today at 7:15 p.m. CFRTU public meetings through June will be held remotely using Zoom. To join this meeting send an email message to cfrtu.rsvp@gmail.com indicating attendance at the Monday meeting, and include name and email address. A return email will include a meeting invitation and a link to the meeting.
There will be a discussion of chapter activities. The speaker will be Tim Cammisa, a fly fishing and fly tying professional from Western Pennsylvania. Cammisa’s talk will be “Nymphing from A to Z.”
He will discuss his approach to fishing with nymphs, the stage in which trout feed the most. From European nymphing to fishing with indicators, Cammisa will walk the audience through his set-up, flies and styles, plus give tips on a variety of situations that will improve your nymph fishing instantly.
Details of this and future meetings, plus other chapter activities and local fishing reports, can be found at cfrtu.org. Mmeetings of the Clear Fork River Chapter of Trout Unlimited are open to the public and anyone interested in fishing and cold water fisheries preservation is encouraged to participate. Interested women fishers are especially invited.
Trout stockings
Rainbow trout releases will take place across Ohio from March-May, as long as areas are ice-free and accessible to anglers.
Stocking of the public lakes and ponds are opportunities for families to fish together. Fishing for catchable-sized trout is also a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors.
Rainbow trout are raised at state fish hatcheries and measure 10-13 inches before they are released by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. The daily harvest limit for inland lakes is five trout per angler.
Lakes stocked within a short drive of Wayne and Holmes counties include Silver Creek Park just outside of Doylestown the week of April 9; Hinkley Lake in Medina County the week of April 16; and Petros Lake in Canton the week of April 23.
Trap teams needed
The East Holmes Sportsman’s Association is looking for teams for its spring trap league starting on March 24. The club is limiting it at 15 teams. Contact the club soon to reserve a spot.
It will be a 50-bird program for 10 weeks. If interested, contact one of the following phone numbers: 330-204-3684 or 330-231-9158.
The East Holmes Sportsman’s Association is located at 6781 Township Road 310, Millersburg.
Tax donation helps wildlife
Ohio’s tax donation program is an important way for wildlife enthusiasts to help contribute to restoring and managing endangered and threatened wildlife and other species of interest.
By making a tax donation to the Wildlife Diversity Fund on this year’s tax return, Ohioans are helping to ensure the future of Ohio’s ecosystems, from native habitats and landscapes to endangered plant and wildlife species.
Funds from the tax donation program go directly to projects that protect Ohio’s wildlife. Individuals may donate all or part of their state income tax refund by entering a dollar amount for “Wildlife Species” on line 26d of the 2020 IT 1040 tax form.
Contributions made on the 2020 tax return and filed in 2021 are considered deductible donations made in 2021.
