Monday, June 27th @ 7:00pm
All are welcome!
The meetings are free and are open to all. All tying levels are welcome. We have extra materials and vices for those who need them and there are volunteers who will work with the new people who want to try fly tying. You don't have to be a TU member to join us. We have free coffee and donuts and always have a fly fishing DVD playing. This is a very informal get together with the purpose of sharing our hobby with other people who want to find out what it is all about in a laid back atmosphere. You will find it to be a very relaxing evening even if you don't want to tie flies. Come down and have a cup of coffee and meet a great bunch of guys & girls, talk fishing or sports (no politics) or pick up some tying tips. This time of year is a great time to refill your fly boxes. Hope to see you there.

President's Corner:
I hope you have all enjoyed your summer vacations. With labor day now behind us we can hope for the much needed transition to the cooler days of autumn. Just as fishermen enjoy the change of seasons, the fish also respond by becoming more active resulting in improved fishing. With a drop in water temperature, you can expect them to exert more energy and feed more consistently throughout the day. Of course its still called fishing and not catching. There will still be days you can't buy a bite no matter what, but the odds will be hopefully stacked in your favor. Now get out and fish.
Over the summer the Rahway River Trout Unlimited chapter members have put together a new exhibit that will debut at the Cranford Public Library located at 224 Walnut Ave. Cranford NJ. The display will be available to the public the entire month of September. The display includes the many important aspects of being a TU volunteer. Showcases also includes fly fishing memorabilia, fly tying materials, educational information and the new Richard Kress memorial library.
September will also feature many women's related events to help engage the ladies of RRTU. On Monday September 14th we will hold an introduction to fly tying for women. At our general meeting on the 21st the Chapter will feature an up and coming women fly tier from the Catskills named Nicole Seymour. I had previously meet Nicole at this years Sparse Grey Matter Shannons fly tying event. Nicole gives a fresh new perspective of the modern fly angler getting into the sport these days.
I hope to see you all at any one of our up coming events

Featured Story:
State of the Trout 2015
This report details the status and trends within 28 separate species and
subspecies of trout and char that are native to the U.S. Trout
naturally occur in 38 of the 50 United States. Of 28 native trout
species and subspecies, three are extinct and six are listed as
Threatened or Endangered. Excluding the extinct trout, 52 percent (13 of
25) occupy less than 25 percent of their historical habitat and are at
high risk from at least one major threat. All native trout face some
level of risk.
