NOTE! Our own Larry Antonuk has a 7 page article in the Spring issue of "Fly Tyer" magazine! Larry discusses classic streamer flies from the Mondanock region! This article has 12 flies and patterns that you may never have seen, but are tried and true classics! Great article from Larry who also teaches the fly tying classes at the Keene Rec Center.

The WILLARD POND PURCHASE has gone through! Willard is now the property of NH Audubon. Thanks for all your donations. This note came from Francie von Mertens: Tal, Cheryl and Larry, Time to pop the cork. I just received THE call, almost before the ink had dried on the purchase papers. NHAudubon is the pleased and grateful new owner of the last unprotected property on wonderfully wild Willard Pond. Thank you Monadnock Trout Unlimited for taking a leadership role in making it happen. Many, many great stories about people's connection to Willard, and TU is one of them. Francie
