As winter months roll around, we begin to settle at our tying benches and dream of big trout that will take whatever bug we're tying.  Well....fishing doesn't have to end when the weather turns blistery, try fishing for Steelhead.  The chapter have trips planned for January and February to the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY.  Please contact Warren Weglinski, our new activity coordinator, at wweglinski@mtac.com for details.  He will tell you the gear you need and flies to tye.  On a side note, try to have gear that floats :-)

January also means that the annual Fly Fishing Show is coming.  This year, the show is scheduled for January 27-29 ( http://www.flyfishingshow.com/Somerset__NJ.html ).  The chapter is looking for volunteers to staff the booth.  In return, all volunteers will be eligible to purchase discounted admission ticket.  In the past, the chapter offered volunteers free admission tickets, but due to losses incurred last year, the chapter can't afford it.  Sign ups will be available at our January meeting or email info@nnjtu.org with the date and time of your availability.

The chapter is sponsoring a 7 week Fly Tying Class every Tuesday, starting on February 7 and ending on March 20 from 6:30 - 9:00 PM.  A Beginner and an Intermediate/Advance class will be offered.  The Beginner class will be supplied with all tools and materials.  The Intermediate/Advance class will be supplied with all materials.  The cost is $50.00 per person.  The Fly Tying Class is open to everyone.
