2025 Recap of Recent Chapter Activities
Earlier this year, our chapter was buzzing with a bunch of cool activities. Several sessions of fly tying classes were provided by Chapter members for students and also for the general public. The Chapter provided all the materials and equipment, so everyone could head home with a nice collection of flies. We also had the pleasure of hosting George Daniel as a guest speaker at one of our monthly meetings. He shared some great insights on nymphing presentation, focusing on mono leaders. In addition to all that, our Penns Creek Chapter members rolled up their sleeves for the Annual Stream Cleanup at Kish Creek. Volunteers did an amazing job clearing trash and debris from both the stream bank and the water itself. The Chapter's Summer Social was held again this year at Poe Paddy State Park. Despite the less-than-perfect weather and stream conditions, we still enjoyed plenty of delicious food and good company.
