Jim Holley, one of our members, has organized a cleanup for a stretch of the lower Ashuelot River. The cleanup will start at 9 am and go until noon. If you can bring a pickup that would help in getting the trash to the dump. The debris will go to the Winchester Dump, but we will not be charged for disposal. The directions to the site - from Winchester travel 3 miles on Route 119 towards Hinsdale. At the Pisgah trail head is parking and Jim will have a sign indicating the location Look for Jim's green Honda Element and the sign. You could get there early and fish and stay late and fish! If you are planning to come, please email Mike Elkavitch, melkavitch@gmail.com, so that we have an idea of how many people will be coming.
Thanks! Hope to see you there!

Fly tying classes
Hi all,
Tim McMahon has arranged for use of the Keene Rec Center, on Washington Street, to begin fly tying classes. We'll start on Tuesday, February 19 and go through March and possibly the first 2 weeks in April. We'll start at 6:30 and go until 8:30 pm each night.
The Fly Tying classes will start teaching and tying basic patterns for the first two weeks. The remaining class time will be determined by the participants and their choices. This could mean tying zonkers, or more dry fly patterns or classic New England streamers for example. The chapter will supply materials and have tools available for class use. The fee is $50 and the classes will run from Feb 19 to March 26 with the possibility of 2 more sessions in April. The classes will be at the Keene Rec Center on Washington Street. Contact Mike Elkavitch, elks61975@gmail.com to sign up or get more information.
