Make some new friends, learn some new very fishable waters and, of course, make a big difference for our precious coldwater resource. Please mark these dates and plan to attend. There is something for everyone. All are Saturdays, start at 9 and are done by noon.

Sept 17 – Sugar River – looking at one of two locations, just south of Verona. The exact location will be determined in the next week and shared via email.

Oct 8 – Smith-Conley – Joint Workday with Nohr Chapter – 2800 Cty Rd H, Barneveld (same easement we have been working at)

Oct. 29 – Hefty Creek (Rudd Easement) – Meadow Valley Rd & Disch Rd (south of New Glarus) – this section of Hefty just recently had a major DNR stream restoration, which this chapter helped to finance. This workday will give you a chance to see this work and help complete a few details. There will be lunch following this workday at the Rudd’s house.

Nov 12 – Sugar River – (same as above)

Dec 3 – Smith-Conley – Joint Workday with Nohr Chapter (same as above)

Be sure to attend our September 13 Chapter Meeting at Schwoegler’s Entertainment Center, when we will draw 5 winners that have participated in our work days for the last year and half. Five $50 gift cards will be given out from the following businesses: D&S Bait and Tackle, Musky Fool Fly Shop, and Cabelas.
