June Newsletter
Greetings to everyone who is now visiting our web-site on a regular basis and welcome to those of you just discovering it for the first time. We have only been up and running for a few months but our number of visits are very encouraging as I am able to track that statistic thanks to our web master. My hope is that this will become our main vehicle of communication to our members over the next year. Remember too, if you are a TU member register to blog your trips and any other pertinate information our members may be interested in.
Our speakers for the month of June are Ian and Charity Rutter of R&R Fly Fishing located in Townsend Tennessee just minutes from the Smokies and other great fishing destinations.Ian & Charity Rutter have produced numerous articles and books and are sought-after speakers. Ian wrote Great Smoky Mountains Angler’s Companion and Tennessee Trout Waters: A Blue Ribbon Guide, the most comprehensive fly fishing guides to the Smokies and Tennessee. Their latest book is Rise Rings & Rhododendron: Fly Fishing the Streams & Tailwaters of Southern Appalachia. I am sure they’ll bring some books with them so if you want one or more be prepared to purchase them and I bet they could be convinced to sign them for you. You may want to be there a little early because there should be a full house for this one.
Please remember you do not have to be a member to come to our meetings and you are encouraged to bring family and friends concerned about our water and environment in general. Thank you.
Your President,
Jeff Payne
Meeting date is May the 6th, 7:00 PM @ the Foothills Arts Council Building in Elkin.
