A Nation of Immigrants: The English Origins of American Trout Flies
Thursday, November 14 Chapter Meeting

Man. Myth. Legend. You’ve read the monthly columns, marveled at the beautiful flies and maybe even wanted to ask some questions of whoever is behind the steady stream of stellar fly tying history … not to mention the amazing, effective fish-catching flies themselves.

Well, here’s your chance! And, really … does this meeting need any more promo than that Rusty Dunn, live and in the flesh, will be at the front of the room, talking flies? One should hope not!

There will be a 50/50 raffle to help cover the room fee. Tickets will be available from 6:30 – 7:45 pm for $5 each. The drawing will take place at 8:00 pm, or as soon as possible after the featured speaker is completed. This is a must be present to win drawing. One winning ticket takes home half of the cash raised!

As usual, the meeting is upstairs at the Coliseum Bar and Grill on East Olin Avenue at 7 p.m. but please get there early this month if at all possible for auction items, drinks, food or sharing stories!

Looking a month ahead … the December 12 meeting will feature Dr. John Lyons, “life-long fish nerd.” He has the amazingly cool title of Curator of Fishes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Zoological Museum, a position he has held since 1985. Doctor Lyons will share insights from a lifetime of fishing and a professional career working on ichthyology (the study of fishes), fisheries management and aquatic conservation.
