As you may already heard the Little River Spring Camp Out is the weekend of Saturday May 6th. Which I am a little bummed about. I will have to missed it. (Daughter’s College Graduation)
I came across a story about a newspaper article Ernest Hemingway had written in the 1920’s about camping and sitting up a camp. In his writing he put a lot of emphasis on comfort and food. At the Little River camp outs there is also a lot of emphasis on comfort and food, that is another reason I am bummed. The newspaper article is a great read which you can download form this (link). If you are interested in going email Ernie Frey ernest.frey@comcast.net for more information on the camp out.
Good fishing

2017 GSMNP Fisheries Volunteer Sampling Schedule
Little River Clean-up is scheduled for March 25. As of this writing on March 9, the weather is predicted to be cloudy and in the high 60’s. Stan Starkey will be cooking the lunch and is preparing his famous pulled pork along with the old stand-by of hamburgers and hot dogs. Come out and help with keeping our resources clean and maybe get some fishing in after lunch.
The Southeast Regional Trout Unlimited meeting will be the week- end of April 21 in Gatlinburg. Please try to attend if possible. There are some great speakers scheduled and it should be entertaining. Mentors or “guides” may also be necessary to assist the visitors to the meeting with fishing in the area.You don’t have to show them your favorite fishing hole, just help them with Smoky Mountain fishing.
I would like to thank Wendy Teffeteller and her students from the Episcopal School of Knoxville for their presentation at last month’s meeting. It was great to see the enthusiasm of the students for a program that our chapter has put in place.
