Fly Tying  February 12

For almost 15 years a group of us has gotten together every month to tie. Some years we tied in kitchens, other years in empty classrooms and some years in fly shops after normal business hours. We now have new, permanent space on the 2nd floor of Emanuel Lutheran Church and we invite you to join us.

 

We welcome tyers of all skill levels and meet the second Wednesday of every month starting around 6:45.  Sometimes we tie to resupply our own inventory. Sometimes it has been a while since we last tied and we need an easy way to get back into it. Sometimes we need help tying a new pattern. Sometime we need to get ready for an upcoming fishing trip. 

 

Whatever the reason, we look forward to seeing you. For questions or comments contact Bob Wesolowski at 914-646-0449 or bob.wesolowski@verizon.net .

DEC Stream Management Plan - Update

On November 4, several chapter members attended DEC's information session at Orange County Community College. The presentation and

Q & A session that followed outlined DEC's new plan for inland trout stream management. Here are some of the key takeaways:

​

  • Today, 20 different sets of regulations govern New York's trout streams. DEC wants to reduce this to five sets of regulations where each regulation is based on a set of clearly defined stream characteristics. 

  • The plan will divide all trout streams into "reaches". Each "reach" will be governed by one of the five sets of regulations mentioned previously. 

  • The state-wide trout season will run from April 1 to October 15. All streams will have a daily creel limit. The rest of the year, October 16 through March 31, all streams will be open for fishing and all streams will be catch and release. 

  • DEC wants to complete the draft plan by December 31 with implementation scheduled for April, 2021.

We hope to get details of the five proposed regulations over the next few weeks.
