We are taking the summer off and not having regular chapter meetings in July or August. The busy, hot, travel-filled summer months are not generally conducive to large meetings. We will get back together on Thursday, September 13. All monthly meetings thereafter will be held on the second
Thursday (not Tuesday as in the past). The location remains the same: The Coliseum Bar and Grill.
Have a great summer! There won’t be an August newsletter, but keep checking swtu.org for updates, pictures, news, volunteer opportunities and more! Like and follow our Facebook page, as well.

The next time you’re near a trout stream, look closely among the ground cover and leaf litter. You’ll be astonished by the number and variety of ants. Ecologists estimate that the biomass of ants on earth is 20% of terrestrial animals. That’s one fifth of all land animals, measured not by number but by total weight! Wow! Now look in your fly boxes. Are your ant imitations as prolific as the real deal? Probably not. Read More
