ESCTU Chapter Mission

To conserve, protect and restore North America's Trout and Salmon Fisheries and their Watersheds.

1. Conservation—To improve coldwater resources (i.e. habitat or water flow) by engaging in projects such as stream restoration or advocacy for beneficial regulations.

2. Education—To communicate the important issues and information pertinent to our mission to each other and the world outside TU. This includes, but is not limited to, publishing a quarterly or monthly newsletter, giving talks to other groups or teaching angling and conservation principles to youth.

3. State-wide coordination—To participate in TU efforts at the state level by sending chapter representatives to at least two state council meetings per year.

4. Cooperative fund-raising—To work toward shared national and local fund-raising activities that benefit the mission of TU.

2008 Meeting Schedule : DOORS OPEN AT 6:00 PM
 

Monday, May 12, 2008: ESCTU Meeting 6:30 Featured Speaker is Steve Ferrar of the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders.  Steve will be our featured fly tier and presenter. Steve is a local saltwater fly fisher, fly designer, and past president of the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders in 2006 and 2007.  He has authored numerous articles on original fly designs and taught/demonstrated at many fly fishing shows and clubs through out the Northeast.  Steve was the saltwater fly rod guy in the Sage advertisements in 2001. He typically fishes from the beaches in the Sandy Hook area and will do a program, as you would expect, on salt water fly fishing. 

 In addition to Steve's presentation, Brian Cowden, the TU Home River Coordinator for the Musconetcong River Project, will come by to brief the chapter on his conservation efforts on the Musky.  I'm sure that Brian will have some great information, so please plan to join us".


Saturday June 7, 2008:  ESCTU Annual Business Meeting and picnic at Bulls Island State Park.  Stay tuned for further details!"
