Have you tried euro-nymphing?  Our March 2020 speaker, Zach St. Amand, is a native of New England and has been fishing since he could hold a rod. Zach grew up fishing rivers and streams in the woods of his childhood home and eventually expanded his angling to rivers throughout the northeast. A family tradition angling has always been a part of his life: bringing equal parts of adventure, peace, challenge and excitement.

Zach will talk on long line euro-nymphing technique and line management strategies for fighting and landing big fish fast.  Don't miss this exciting and informative presentation. 

Zach was also featured in a Men's Health article:  https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19528571/why-every-eater-should-go-fishing/

 
Please join us on March 12th at the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association building at 540 Oregon Road in Meriden for a very informative presentation and some good fellowship! Food at 6:30, a short business meeting, program updates, and raffle precedes speaker.

 
 Help make the Chapter what you want it to be!

We are always interested in suggestions for how the Chapter can best serve your interests.  If any of you have a few hours to help, your efforts would be greatly appreciated.  Our next Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for April 13, 2020 at 6:30 pm at the United Churches of Durham, 228 Main Street, Durham, CT 06422.  This would be a great opportunity to express your interest in how the Chapter operates,suggest projects, and offer any volunteer assistance. 

At our BOD meeting on February 10th we reviewed the bylaws and made some changes to officer positions to be in accordance with the bylaws.  We expect to hold election of officers at the October 2020 meeting.  In the meantime, please let any of the current Chapter officers know of your interest in joining the Board of Directors and/or taking on a leadership position.  A complete list of positions will be included in the April Update.
