Meeting Program Ideas

Hey everyone! Our local TU chapter meets every month. Our meetings start with a brief "business meeting" then we try to finish up with about an hour long "Program" or topic of discussion.

In the past our programs or topics have included things such as fly tying sessions and/or demonstrations, casting, discussions of places we've fished/want to fish, presentations by our state's Game & Fish folks, presentation by our local Simms rep., etc.

I need some ideas for upcoming programs and/or topics. So let's hear ya! If you were sitting around in a room full of fisherfolks, what would you like to talk about, hear about or learn more about, etc?

Just lookin' to spitball this a bit so throw your ideas at me! Thanks.

Might discuss the "rumor" about the closing of all fish hatcheries beginning Oct. 1st.....

How about a Leave No Trace presentation emphasizing the fishing adaptations. More info here http:www.lnt.org. If you need a presenter I can help make arrangements.

Anyone interested in a (free) presentation in Indiana or adjacent states just let me know. We'll see what we can schedule. (I don't charge for my presentations.)

Check to see if you have a local unit for Project Healing Waters and see if they give presentations, they do around here.

A Casting For Recovery presentation is also good to have, if you have a local unit.

Those are some excellent ideas. Thanks.

Your local Boy Scouts may be able to make a good presentation and bring along some scouts with fly fishing and/or tying badges, or some working on badges.

One of our members is a Certified Boy Scout Merit Badge instructor in fly fishing/fly tying and all things fishing. He is working on a plan for us to get together at some of their meetings.

We usually have at least one invited guest who kicks the evening off by tying flies. We then move into a business section which is very short and then have someone make some sort of fly fishing related presentation. PowerPoints on rod building, fishing spring creeks, stillwaters, etc. The chapter usually utilizes members who have those talents and are prepared to give a polished presentation.

Royce,

sending you a private message with some ideas from our chapter meetings.
