On
Sunday, May 18th we had some fly fishing mentors take folks fishing on
the St. George River. Everyone seemed to have a great time and
some fish were caught too! We had people with a wide variety of
experience and everyone had something to learn.

Meeting details:
Tuesday
October 14 chapter meeting. Geoff Day, executive director of the
Sea-Run Brook Trout Coalition, will tell us about their efforts to
protect and restore populations of “salters” and their
coastal watersheds in Maine and the rest of New England. As many of you
know, we have many “salter” streams in mid-coast Maine, and
they are an important part of our work on the Ducktrap River. Sea Run
Brook Trout have the ability and opportunity to deal with climate
change if we can help ensure that they have the connectivity to access
saltwater bays with cooler water temperatures. They also tend to
grow faster and larger in salt water so we can catch (and release)
bigger fish.
Chapter meetings. All meetings are now held on the second TUESDAY of
the month (October through May) on the second floor at Maine Sport
Outfitters (MSO) on Route 1 in Rockport. Chapter meetings start at 6PM
with an informal get-together called “Trout Talk” when
folks can learn new fishing techniques at our skill table, connect with
friends and newcomers, discuss recent trips and plan new ones, or just
relax. We will have pizza for sale and feel free to also bring your own
food and drink. After a very short business meeting, the program starts
at 7PM and usually lasts an hour. Please bring flies or other items for
the raffle – it’s fun, you can get some great gear and it
helps to fund our conservation and education goals.
