Syracuse, N.Y. – The local chapter of Trout Unlimited will present a two-day beginner fly-fishing seminar for women Sept. 6 and 7 at Carpenter’s Brook Fish Hatchery in Elbridge, N.Y.
This will be the 2nd annual event of its kind hosted by the

Participants will learn the basics of fly fishing. Topics will include fly-tying, stream entomology, equipment set up and casting. In addition, the women will spend time fly-fishing with experienced guides on a nearby stream. Equipment will be available for participants who do not have their own to bring.
The seminar will be led by instructor Vicky Lane, a licensed New York State fishing guide and Iroquois Chapter board member. A group of women and men volunteers will be on hand to provide one-to-one instruction.
Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. Cost is $60 for the weekend (overnight lodging not included). If interested, please formation contact Julie Fishman at HYPERLINK “mailto:jsherlockfishman@gmail.com” jsherlockfishman@gmail.com or (315) 243-7667.

David Scott,
Sorry to get back to you so late about your question, the site is still in its beginning stages and we are still working on format and content. Please check out some of the other pages as we are just getting more posts with calander infomation and other updates. As for projects we are just starting the search for new places that could benefit from our help, we have several sites to be considered Onondaga Creek, Butternut Creek, Limestone Creek is one we worked on a few years back in the town of Manlius, Mill Run Park section and it still has another phase or two to be completed. Nine Mile is always in need of stream cleanups and we just finished a Earth Day stream cleanup of Furnace Brook on Saturday in the city Elmwood Park section. Our next chapter meeting will be stream side on Nine Mile Creek to review our plantings from last year as well as fish a bit, meeting starts 5:00 at the new parking lot off 174 just past Jakes Fly Shop hope to see you there and discuss some of our other projects.
