October Outing - Savage River

   Come join us for some great fishing in the autumn colors of western Maryland. The Monroe campsite will be open at 3 pm on Friday and we must vacate by 1:00 pm on Monday. The cost is $30 per person or less, depending on the number of participants. The exact amount is payable to Ron K. by cash or check at the pavilion.

For those not interested in camping, there is lodging available in cabins at New Germany State Park or hotels in nearby towns. Please bring a bundle of local store-bought firewood, which can be purchased at area stores or the New Germany Ranger station. Also bring your own food and water for the weekend.

Hope to see you there.

Fly-Tying Night

Fly-Tying Night

The next PPTU fly-tying get-together is Tues, Nov. 10th (6:30 pm) at the Greene Turtle in Burtonsville.

This is a great opportunity to share your tying knowledge, improve your skills, or simply watch others tie flies and talk about fishing!! PPTU members and others with common interests in fly fishing and cold water conservation are invited.

We’ll have a focus on Euro Nymphing flies, but tie whatever want, or just have dinner!

Tiers should bring their own portable equipment and materials. An electrical outlet is available nearby, but bring a battery-powered light if you have one.
