THE TROUT LINE

March 5, 2018

Welcome to The Trout Line Newsletter! This is our Tualatin Valley Trout Unlimited Chapter newsletter that will be coming out twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month.

Outings Schedule for 2018

Make room on your calendars to join members from both Tualatin Valley and Clackamas Chapters of Trout Unlimited for any or all of the 9 scheduled events! These are scheduled from April through October to be able to accommodate even the busiest of schedules!
 
Many of our outings are day trips but several extend into multi-day campouts on some of Oregon's more scenic and productive waters. Meet other members and learn or share fishing techniques. Evening gatherings are encouraged and the trips often involve one evening where the chapters provide an entree course for a potluck-style barbecue dinner - so share your favorite side dish or dessert with others and enjoy reveling in the stories of the day!
Reservations/RSVP are not required but are appreciated. Contact Andy Andrews ( andrewsclga@gmail.com) for additional information and directions if needed! Please join us!
