Trout Unlimited meeting
The Clear Fork River Chapter of Trout Unlimited will hold its first fall meeting at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Sept. 13, at the First Presbyterian Church, 621 College Ave., Wooster. The chapter plans to resume holding in-person meetings and request everyone wear a mask. Note the new location.
A Zoom option for those who wish to attend that way is be available. Anyone who wishes to join remotely should email cfrtu.rsvp@gmail.com and request access to the Sept. 13 CFRTU meeting. Include name and email address. A response with an invitation to the meeting, including a link to the meeting, will returned to the email address. Those who attended meetings by Zoom last spring also must send the email request.
There will be a discussion of chapter activities, including planning for the fall trout stocking of Apple Creek and the three-session Learn to Fly Fish clinic the chapter will sponsor Oct. 6, 13 and 16. Details of the event will be available on the chapter website, including how to sign ups.
Randy Rowe, Skip Nault and Steve Slack, will discuss “Spring Steelheading on Michigan’s Muskegon River.” The last several years, a few club members have fished the Muskegon River below the Croton Dam in late April. Steelhead fishing there can be excellent, with the large fish running 8-16 pounds. The speakers will explain how steelhead are taken on flies using the “chuck and duck” method, and also on spawn bags using a bottom bouncing technique.
Details of this and future meetings, plus other chapter activities and local fishing reports, can be found at cfrtu.org. Meetings 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 anglers are especially invited to attend.
