Recap of the April 27th, 2010 Meeting

Last night was, yet again, another great meeting.

SEWTU has some great clean-up projects coming in May and June. Project Healing Waters will continue with another outing planned for May 24th, as well as some upcoming fly-tying clinics. Check www.sewtu.org for more information on participating in these events.

two other tidbits:
1. SEWTU now has a work trailer! This will allow us the ability to deliver the needed tools for stream restoration and other projects. We'll have some pics up soon.

2. Our fashion committee has a new line of SEWTU-specific clothing, which should be available in the near future. Plans are to have a link to buy apparel via the SEWTU.org website. Stay tuned...

Guest Speaker:
Mat Wagner's presentation on "Mid Summer Fly Fishing - Tips for Catching Fish in the Dog Days of Summer" contained a wealth of great information for tracking down fish, preparing your mind and body for hot-weather fishing, and getting the right flies lined up for a productive summer day on the water. (Me) Being somewhat new to fly fishing, Mat's presentation provided knowledge on both the Viroqua area waters, as well as great general info for stream fishing.

We'll have information about our May meeting coming soon - and any updates to projects SEWTU takes part in as well.
Cheers -

The folks at SEWTU

Dear SEWTU Member or Friend:

This Saturday, April 10, 2010, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., SEWTU will help at the Washington County Kids Free Fishing Clinic.

This is a yearly SEWTU event, and one that our members have helped to make a truly wonderful tradition. We'll help kids fish for stocked rainbow trout in a pond located withinSandy Knoll County Park.

This will be many kids first introduction to fishing, and this is a great way to get kids tuned in and turned on to what SEWTU is about. Come ready to lead children, help them fish, and hopefully to take some fish off of a line or two!

The location is Sandy Knoll County Park, which is located at 2064 Wallace Lake Road, in West Bend, Wisconsin, 53090.

A map to the location is here.

Volunteers are asked to contact Dan Asmus, at 414-315-2616.
