A Note from the President

Welcome to the Chattooga River Chapter of Trout Unlimited website. This endeavor has been over a year in the making, and we think it will be a valuable addition to our chapter's communications toolbox. We hope it will be informative to our members and guests. We also hope to keep a "live" document, meaning it will be continuously updated and new features added on a regular basis. In that regard, we welcome your input on improvements and additions. Send suggestions by clicking on the "Contact Us" link.

Mentoring for Members

Mark your calendar, the chapter will be holding Mentoring Sessions on the same nights as the regularly scheduled monthly Chapter meetings. The sessions will start at 6 PM and will be held at the SC DNR offices in Clemson.

The MAY 4 session will focus on the knots needed to successfully link your backing, fly line, leader to tippet and, most importantly, tying on that favorite fly so that it comes back to you with the fish in tow. Losing a fine trout because of an improperly tied knot can really ruin the experience.This is an excellent opportunity to learn the proper knots to use, ask a lot of questions of how or how-to.

Each Session will finish in time for the regularly scheduled chapter meeting at the same facility starting at 7:30PM. Future sessions will cover varied topics to include knots, fly tying instruction and casting etc. Come and join us for what is sure to be an informative Session. Members are encouraged be involved and invite someone you know that has an interest in fly fishing. The purpose of these Sessions is to share the wealth of information in our chapter and provide an opportunity for members to meet and mingle.
