How appropriate to have our meeting speaker this month on warm water species. It's a tough time of year for Georgia trout fishermen. So come learn how to be a better fisherman for our summer time friends. And hear Chapter members tell where and what they are fishing for. We'll have a report from July Fishing Dayz in the Cohutta's. I know some members have been to, or are going to Canada. And I've just returned from the East Cape, Baja, Mexico.
Lest we get too far removed from trout, however; there is still time to sign up for and join us for a morning of trout stream restoration of Martin Branch on Saturday, July 26.
And finally, Tuesday we will know who the winner of the Orvis "Superfine" fly rod.

Ed has been a TU member for almost 20 years and has served as Treasurer in addition to participating in a host of activities. He really enjoys the educational component of UCCTU's mission and teaches the Fly Fishing merit badge to Boy Scouts and the fly fishing skill to the next generation.
