C4C - done for the year!

Christmas for Coho collections are done for the year - now we are working on placement programs!

Thanks to all the local TU volunteers, our beloved local fly shop hosts [Royal Treatment and Northwest Fly Fishing Outfitters] and to those who brought in their trees for this important effort; several hundred trees have been collected and stockpiled awaiting placement in sensitive habitat areas on the Clackamas River. We truly are thankful for all the efforts of our numerous volunteers over these two weekends and we look forward to working with everyone again when collection sites and dates are set!

Thanks again and Happy New Year! If you have not yet signed up to be contacted with volunteer opportunities, let MIKE GENTRY know today!

WHERE: Luck Lab Public House - Multnomah Village
WHAT TIME: 6:30 pm [meet-n-greet; 7:00 pm meeting start
WHAT to EXPECT: Marc Williamson - The Art & Science of Reading Water

Marc will discuss proven techniques for reading rivers through the four needs of all trout. He will define the types of lies that are present in a river as well as illustrate why trout choose the locations that they do.
He will cover some specific situations that you may find in moving water.

Marc writes that his passion for learning has never decreased after decades of working as an educator. Through these years, many lessons have been learned - in particular though, learning must be relevant and fun.
To accomplish that for both the teacher and the student, Marc teaches fly fishing and fly tying and finds it a great opportunity his knowledge. He enjoys seeing people get excited about the first fly they tye, as well as their first cast or that initial double haul.  The joy of learning is a powerful motivator.
Marc began fly-fishing at a young age. His father, and best friend, purchased a JC Higgins fly rod outfit for him that began a lifelong love affair with fly-fishing.
Marc presents to fly clubs and fly fishing shows throughout the Pacific Northwest and Montana and he is a co-founder and the Director of the Northwest Christian Fly Fishing Roundup, a complete fly fishing experience for men.
