President’s Note – December 2022

Volunteers are the “heart and soul” of the Little River Chapter. It was encouraging to have several first-time TU volunteers participating in the Trout-in-the-Classroom program and the Pistol Creek Clean-Up this month. I’m equally grateful for the members who continue to volunteer year-after-year.  In the coming year, the LRCTU Board of Directors will be initiating a Volunteer Recognition Program to reward LRCTU volunteers for their contributions to Chapter sponsored volunteer activities. This is the first of several initiatives that will be led by the Board of Directors as they take a more active role in guiding the Chapter. If you are interested in becoming more involved in the LRCTU, please contact one of our officers or board members.

President’s Note – November 2022

I don’t know who the fisherman is, but I wonder if he’s using an Elk Hair Caddis?!

The mission of the Little River Chapter is to conserve, protect and restore the coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in and around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  The upcoming LRCTU On-Line Auction is a great opportunity to continue and strengthen our commitment to the GSMNP Fisheries Department.  The auction opens on November 21st and closes on December 15th.  Participation in this year’s auction has been outstanding with over 80 donations from TU members, local guides, and fly shops.  At least 80% of the proceeds from the auction will go directly to the GSMNP Fisheries Department.  There will be an opportunity to view most of the auction items at the December Chapter Meeting at the Chilhowee Women’s Club on the Maryville College Campus.  See more information about the December meeting below.  Please help spread the word about the LRCTU Auction to family, friends, and colleagues.

Bob Bishop,
President
