Join us at our March Meeting.  Mike Roberts will be our speaker with a talk about fishing "the old days" on the Quinnipiac River. Mike is a life long resident of South Meriden, he fished and hunted as a kid around south Meriden. He writes a weekly article in the Record Journal and has fished and hunted for anything that had legs or gills!

Our pre-meeting food this month is a pre-Saint Patrick's Day Irish meal of Irish Dublin Coddle and Soda Bread.  Bring a can or bottle of your favorite Irish beer to enjoy with the food!

Hi Folks – The snow is pretty but, erring on the side of caution, tonight’s meeting of the Hammonasset Chapter of Trout Unlimited is cancelled.  Hope to see you in March.
