Clearwater Satellite Group in Gloversville

Clearwater Chapter members who live in the western part of our district have started a satellite group and have been holding their monthly meetings at the Fly Shack in Gloversville since February. Scheduled meetings of the Gloversville TU Group will be held at 7:00 PM on the third Thursday of each month at the Fly Shack, 15 W. Fulton Street, Gloversville 12078.

Meetings are preceded by a technical discussion relative to fly fishing, or fly tying by one of the groups experts in that particular area of the sport.

For additional information concerning the meetings please contact:

Paul Borisenko or Ron Dorn.

This satellite group is part of the Clearwater Chapter are able to participate in any of the chapters’ activities. As members of the satellite group, members can organize and participate in conservation activities closer to home near Gloversville, or participate in Clearwater Chapters’ activities if they so desire.  Anyone interested in getting information on membership meetings or scheduled activities for the satellite group can contact the Clearwater Chapter Membership Chairman John Morette.

The Gloversville group has had fly tying demonstrations, celebrations, a stream cleanup on the Cayudutta Creek, planning meetings, and more in its first year.  They did a streamside cleanup on the Cayadutta last summer and are gearing up for another series of cleanups this spring.  We also made a contact with the public works department and they, along with the city engineer, have offered their support in our efforts to improving the stream.

November 19th Meeting

I had the pleasure of being able to stop into the Fly Shack Thursday night, Nov. 19th, and see the Gloversville satellite chapter of Clearwater TU have their monthly meeting in progress.  There were several presentations & discussions regarding local streams in the region, most notably the Cayadutta.  I even came home with a new homemade knot tying tool, with instructions, made by one of the members, which was ingenious in its simplicity of use and construction.  Several of these were handed out to the members in attendance after we watched its demonstration.  I need to get the name of its creator and give him all due credit. 

This satellite chapter is up and running and needs our support as they are part of Clearwater TU chapter itself.  Please send me any notes or meeting announcements for this group and I'll post them here and on the main calendar page. 

Many thanks go to the Fly Shack for hosting the monthly meetings in Gloversville for our TU chapter.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
