February at TVTU?

Waters may be dropping early this month - but if it warms too much we're likely to get some melty and that emerald green that we all look for will begin to turn milky white....let's hope it doesn't stay that way!

In the meantime, what is there there for you to do? Plenty! From member meetings with Chris Santella to some great classes with our friends at Royal Treatment Fly Fishing. Check us out:

GENERAL MEETING!
WHEN: Wednesday, February 14, 2018
WHERE: Lucky Lab Public House; Multnomah Village
WHAT TIME: 6:00 p.m.
WHAT to EXPECT:
Chris Santella - "The Tug is the Drug"
Chris combines some readings from his latest book, The Tug is the Drug, and some of his original fly fishing songs. His peripatetic lifestyle and...

eye for entertaining details--even those that have little to do with the act of throwing flies at fish--will make you look at fishing in a whole different way.
WHAT TO BRING: a friend and extend your hand! Some coin for liquid refreshment and a slice.....Enjoy!
FREE FISHING WEEKEND!
WHEN: February 17-18, 2018

WHERE: State of Oregon! Anywhere and everywhere that water is open to fishing/catching.
WHAT TIME: Legal Daylight Hours [unless some warmwater spots are open...]
WHAT to EXPECT:
Fishing without tags or licenses is allowed for anywhere and anything that is open - all other rules remain in place - limits, species, closures etc. This is not quite free-for-all but it is a great chance to get someone the introduction everyone deserves. Including entire family units! Just follow the other rules - regulations are ONLINE.
WHAT TO BRING: a friend! This is a great opportunity to introduce someone on the "cheap". Enjoy!
