We are at 13 tanks and could add a couple more if we had the volunteer manpower.&nbsp; We particularly need someone to step up and&nbsp;manage the program.&nbsp; Things like ordering materials, checking on eggs availability, setting up release days and their associated activities are among the things that need a leader to&nbsp;get done.&nbsp; None of it is rocket science, just requires some interest and energy.&nbsp; If you would like to help, contact Jim Jeswald (<a href=\"mailto:jmjes711@gmail.com\">jmjes711@gmail.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another activity is our long running GSMNP Fisheries-related projects.&nbsp; As I write this, \u2018water sampling Saturday\u2019 for January is coming up.&nbsp; January is a pretty drab time of year; no leaves on the trees (excepting the Rhododendron and Evergreens!) mostly green-grey, brown-grey, and plain grey colors.&nbsp; But still it is a way to get outdoors, take a hike, and help the group the Chapter was chartered to support.&nbsp; Contact Richard Barnes (<a href=\"mailto:canceleer1@gmail.com\">canceleer1@gmail.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next 10-day forecast is not super positive for mountain fishing conditions; high temps in the 30s and 40s with lows in the 20s and teens\u2014b-r-r-r \u2639!!&nbsp; Maybe time to dig out my trout spey rod and try some tailwaters.&nbsp; How about you; do you have some cold weather alternative fishing spots?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tight Lines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;
