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.

Annual Fly Tying Extravaganza!
January 15, 2020
Please, join us once again for a PPTU family favorite - our annual Fly Tying Extravaganza meeting!
Swing by the Schweinhaut Senior Center, 1000 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, MD on Wednesday night, January 15th at 7:00 PM when the Potomac Patuxent Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host for your enjoyment our first meeting for the New Year and annual fly tying demonstration.
This year, we will have tables set up for several creative local tyers. Besides some of our very own skilled chapter members, the lineup includes volunteer tyers from Beaver Creek Fly Shop, District Angling, LLBean, and Project Healing Waters. Come by and check out some of these patterns: Ryan’s Softshell Crayfish, Adams Parachute, Blowtorch, Squiminator, Tony’s Big Bird Articulated Streamer, and more!
All of our tyers will be passing along their skills and knowledge while demonstrating flies you can use on our local streams to catch fish. Take home a pattern recipe and don’t miss this opportunity to shorten your learning curve while you move closer to the elusive goal of mastering this special art of fly tying. And if you catch the bug, inquire about signing up for our beginner fly tying class starting very soon.
Hope to see you there!
