Tornadoes in November?

Hey readers -
We've had some interesting weather patterns on the radar in WI for sure this year, the latest being tornadoes hovering about this past Monday. Crazy times...

Had a great All Chapter meeting Nov 16th. Pat Elhers of The Fly Fishers gave a great presentation on becoming a better Predator. If you have time Dec 11th, definitely stop by the shop for their annual holiday party! See the store calendar for more info.

Other things on our radar:
1. There is a tenative workday on Dec 4 on and around Paradise Spring Creek. The SEWTU website calendar will be updated with more info soon.

2. Dec 14th is our All Chapter meeting - same bat time, same bat channel.
Thunder Bay Grille N14W24130 Tower Place, Pewaukee, WI
6-9PM
This is our year-end meeting, so we'll celebrate another great year of conservation efforts, fishing, and the like. Official business is a minimum, so we'll watch a movie, share fishing stories/lies, and have an optional gift exchange. If you;d like to participate in the gift exchange, bring a wrapped gift valued no more than approxiamately $15. The meeting is not just for the exchange - the exchange is optional, so if you choose not to participate, still come! Gift or not, all are welcome! The importance is on fun - watch a trout or fishing related video and enjoy the successes we have accomplished throughout this past year. Stop by and enjoy the holiday cheer!

We look forward to seeing you all!
Cheers,

SEWTU

We're Back!
And we have a lot of great news!

First off, a little note from Michael Kuhr - our Project Healing Waters Program Lead:
Project Healing Waters programs in the Upper Midwest have a new and improved website to help promote our programs. I will be keeping the WI Calender and the Milwaukee Photo Albums up to date on the site (I just added new photos from our recent Salmon Fishing Outing).

Check It Out: www.phwmw.org

I've been out to a PHW outing and have to say it is immensely rewarding. If you have an interest in helping some of our Nation's Veterans take on fly fishing, definitely contact Michael. I am not sure if there are any more trips planned for the winter months, but there are definitely fly tying classes. Check out the website above for dates/times.

There is also a Chapter Meeting Nov 16th (not the standard 4th Tuesday due to holiday/hunting) at 6pm, with the presentations starting 7:15ish. Make the trip to Thunder Bay Grille (N14w24130 Tower Place, in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Immediately behind the Mobile station, just north of County Highway J's intersection with I-94). We'll kick off this month's meeting with Captain Pat Elhers, owner of The Fly Fishers in Greenfield WI, speaking on the topic of "How To Become a Better Predator." This will be my first time attending a presentation by Pat Elhers, but I have heard they are top notch. I am looking forward to this for sure!

One last note: this meeting will be the last one at which you can order SEWTU gear and get it BEFORE the upcoming December Holidays. If you are interested, be sure to bring your checkbook. Jim Wierzba will be on hand to take orders. Click HERE to check out the goods

If you haven't been to a SEWTU meeting lately, come on out and catch up with everyone. If you want to see what SEWTU does for our local fisheries and are looking to join, come on out. We would be happy to have you!

Cheers,
Josh
