Just came back from the Chapter spring camping trip to Deep Creek campgrounds. We had a chance to fish both Deep Creek and Nolan Creek. I think all the campers caught fish.

 

Larry Davis caught his first trout, a 13 inch Brown trout. As usual, the food was great and the campfire discussion was interesting. Pat Tully did a great job. The weather on Friday and Saturday was dry and warm. If we would have packed up 15 minutes earlier we would have left dry. And if you haven’t experienced a Chapter camping trip, you really should plan to camp with us.

 

The Chapter’s next meeting will be April 24 at Barley’s in Maryville. The social starts at 6 pm and the meeting at 7 pm. Our speaker this month will be Jon Ellis from the Tellico Hatchery. He will be talking about the Citico and Tellico fisheries. He will also be talking about some of the possible changes at the hatchery. See you at the meeting!

I would like to thank Derrick White, Chapter Treasurer and Hannah Tully,
Past-Treasurer for the work they have done for our annual reporting. The
first of the year has reporting requirements for both state and federal
agencies which are critical for the chapter to keep its charitable
designation.
As an example of what can happen when the paper work is not done,
the Cumberland chapter has been decertified by the National TU and
now the State Council must try to bring 600 plus members some sort of
organization.
Little River clean-up is scheduled for March 24 at Metcalf Bottoms picnic
area. There is a 9:00 start time but try to get there a little early for reach
and equipment assignment. Lunch will be provided and Stan Starkey is
doing the cooking. If you were at the clean-up last year, you may
remember Stan does a great pulled pork.
Chapter meeting will be Tuesday March 27 at Barley’s in downtown
Maryville. Social hour starts at 6:00 and the business meeting will start at
7:00. We meet in the upstairs banquet room.
The Eddy George award will be given at the meeting.
