Fountains of Youth – Classic trout flies that have withstood the test of time … flies that remain “forever young”
by Rusty Dunn
The hopes and dreams of most dry fly anglers rest on the shoulders of but two groups of insects, the mayflies and the caddisflies. Admittedly, stoneflies, midges, and terrestrials have their moments of glory, but day in and day out, mayflies and caddisflies are the bread and butter of fly fishing. But look inside your fly boxes. Are the bread and the butter equally represented? Probably not. Read More

Will you step up and lend your talents and experience? (updated)
A number of vacancies coupled with a variety of illnesses means that we will delay our annual election until May. The Board discussed and approved this shift to allow time to put forth the best possible slate of candidates.
That means we still need you – or maybe you have an idea of someone to nominate – to step up! SWTU is a very active chapter, and the excellent mix of stability and change at our leadership level plays a big role in our success. Read More

By Curt Diehl
I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped out at the SWTU booth during the 2018 Wisconsin Fishing Expo. It was a huge success. Saturday’s crowd was 11% higher than last year. All of the flies that were tied prior to the show were handed out to kids. Those flies put a big smile on their face and we reached out to a lot of people. Read More

In memory of Greg Ericson
It’s with sadness that SWTU reports the passing of Greg Ericson . Greg was a long-time chapter member, perhaps best known for the beautiful fly tying desks he donated to the Icebreaker. These desks are treasured by all who were lucky enough to win one. Greg’s kindness, generosity and talents will be missed. Learn more about Greg’s life. Read More
