7:00 - 8:30pm American Legion Zaloga Post 1520 4 Everett Rd, Albany, NY 12205 We are excited to welcome special guest Doug Lyons, who will present on trico fishing. Doug Lyons is a fly fisher, fly tier, author, and writer. His book, Fly Fishing Guide to the Battenkill, will be available for purchase at the meeting. Doug began fly fishing in his native state Massachusetts at the age of twelve. Finding the stocked trout of the Bay State somewhat lacking, Doug convinced his non-angling father to take a trip to the Battenkill; which happened in the fall of 1977. Despite a fishless weekend Doug immediately fell in love with the river. During this time Doug also helped with early habitat restoration work on a small Cape Cod wild brook trout stream; the Quashnet. This gave Doug a deep appreciation for the role of habitat protection in maintaining quality fisheries. Doug has been fortunate to fish in many of the wonderful waters around the country. His first trip to the Catskills at 15 was magical. Other trips have brought Doug to waters as far west as Washington State and as far south as the Letort. Monthly Chapter Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. Meetings typically begin with an informal gathering/fly tyer at 6:30pm, followed by general session at 7pm. |
