General Chapter Meeting Information

A featured part of almost every month's membership meeting is the guest speaker program.  The Board of Directors spends a lot of time planning and arranging for the featured speakers. We begin by designing a general theme for each month's program and then follow up by identifying and booking potential speakers.

Winter Fishing on Beaver Creek

James Harris, Beaver Creek Fly Shop

Our October speaker is James Harris, one of the owners of Beaver Creek Fly Shop, located just east of Hagerstown, MD.  James will be speaking on late fall and winter fishing on Beaver Creek. If you're not familiar with it, Beaver Creek is one of the few true spring creeks in MD, and offers year-round trout fishing.
 
James' topics will include: what to expect with local stream conditions; seasonal fish behavior; suggested fishing strategies; and winter flies.
 
Bring your questions about Beaver Creek or western Maryland in general: In addition to running the shop, James guides on Beaver Creek and other area streams.
