To express our appreciation, the Smith River Trout Unlimited Chapter invites members and their families to enjoy the use of a covered picnic shelter for the day at Fairy Stone State Park on Saturday, August 29, 2020. This event replaces our September regular meeting.
The Chapter reserved Picnic Shelter #3 from 8 am - 8 pm. There will be fly-tying demonstrations throughout the day. Doug Jessie will share a powerpoint presentation of his recent CA trip for Golden Trout.at 4 and 5pm. And from 6-8 pm we will explore "The Underwater World of Trout" DVDs filmed by Wendell (Ozzie) Ozefovich.
The covered shelter accommodates 75 people. It features electrical outlets, lights, a large grill, and handicapped accessible bathrooms. There is a horseshoe pit nearby, but guests must bring their own horseshoes. A creek runs in front of the shelter. Each shelter guest must pay applicable daily parking fees of $7.00/passenger vehicle. Everyone needs to wear a mask, please. State regulations. We will have some available in case you need one. We'll have hand sanitizer available, too

Well I am going to try it- probably won't get there until early afternoon. I want to see Doug's trip report in person. I might also bring a vice and tie a few Allieworms to give to the kids which will later be appropriated by their dads :o
If anyone has an empty seat in a canoe or Jon Boat I could be talked into trying the bream & bass.
