Susquehanna Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Our thoughts and prayers go out the the Whitlock family

Don Daughenbaugh is having a book-signing Saturday November 5, 2022 from noon to 3 P.M. at Faith United Methodist Church (700 Fairview Dr, Montoursville, PA 17754). Please come out and see Don, or meet him if you never have, and pick up a copy of his book. You may even be lucky enough to hear a story or two from Don.

Writer, naturalist, biologist, photographer, river guide, park ranger, trap shooter, teacher, fly-tyer, coach, casting instructor, raconteur, in a word… DON DAUGHENBAUGH. Great People, Great Rivers is the collected wild life of Don Daughenbaugh: a historic view of people and places, intimate stories that are often short, but always sweet: Catching eels as a boy for the family table or skating miles down an ice-covered river to town; Helping a congressman’s girlfriend claim the most fish on a sunny day at Jackson Hole; Leading the annual August gathering of U.S. statesmen at Old Yellowstone’s south gate where the Lewis River joins the Snake; Relaxing at Camp David with the President and family, true friends, or Being driven off the river by an ornery bison. It’s a Great Read

Ashley Wilmont, a member of the U.S. Women’s Fly Fishing Team will speak about her experiences on the U.S. team, most recently representing the United States in Norway for the first Women’s World Fly Fishing Championship.

The Chapter will have a table at this event. If you are free, come out and help staff the table and let others know what we do for the streams in our area.

General public and families are invited to the Lycoming County Fairgrounds to explore, buy, and learn, as the East Lycoming Education Foundation celebrates our PA Woods and Wilds. There will be make-and-take experiences for kids from many varied exhibits including paintings, baskets, flora, woodworking, and more.

Forest enthusiasts, naturalists, growers and gardeners, artisans, and craftspeople are all invited to come and join the celebration to present your ideas, sell PA hand-mades, and share your knowledge on all the opportunities of our PA Woods & Wilds resources.

Among the planned activities include: Fly-fishing lessons (2 one-hour slots are offered) from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission for all ages, demonstrations of our drones in education (funded for the East Lycoming School District by the Foundation), learn about growing many varieties of plants and other wilderness excursions, and much more!

Food trucks on site will offer a variety of lunch and dinner options.

The Susquehanna Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Lycoming College Clean Water Institute (CWI), and the PA Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will hold a public information and outreach forum on the evening of October 12, 2022 on the proposed rulemaking announced by the PFBC on the issue of preventing undesirable aquatic organisms and diseased and undesirable fish into waters of the Commonwealth from activities including fishing, boating, private hatchery operations, fish stocking practices, and use of certain live baits. The proposal appeared in the PA Bulletin on June 18, 2022.  The formal public comment period ended on September 17, 2022 but the PFBC announced that they will continue to accept comments until October 15, 2022. This forum will inform the public on the PFBC’s goals and need for the regulation, as well as looking for ideas and recommendations on how to improve the proposal and make the program work most effectively for all parties involved.

Speakers at the meeting will include Robert Caccese, David Nihart, and Coja Yamashita of the PFBC.

The meeting will be held at Lycoming College in the Heim Science Building (room G-09), Wednesday October 12, 2022 at 7 pm.  The meeting is free and open to the public.  Limited parking and handicap parking available in lot off Washington Blvd by Lynn Science (building #13).
