No Work, Just Fish and Fun

Trout, Unlimited’s Appalachian Chapter would like to announce our first “Camping and Fishing” weekend at the McNabb Creek campground on the North River, at Tellico, from Friday, October 12 through Sunday, October 14.  This family-style event is open to members and non-members alike, and we would like to extend a special invitation to other Trout, Unlimted chapters as well.

This is a great opportunity for those who are interested in beginning in the sport as well.  There will be men and women there with various degrees of experience that will be glad to share their interest with others.

So come and join us for a relaxing weekend of fishing and camping!  More details will be forthcoming next month.

A small donation to cover the cost of the campground will be appreciated.
