Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Come to the Penn State Campus DEF building January 12^th at 6pm room 202. Meet and share your skills or learn a few new ones with other tyers in the area. Whether you tie or not does not matter. This is a great opportunity to share fish stories and techniques to help catch more fish.

If you never tied flies but would like to learn more about tools and materials will be available along with people willing to show you how. We will be holding these roundtables every on Thursdays till mid-March. This helps past the winter blues and be ready for fishing season in the spring. You can come each week or once or twice, these are not classes so if you only need answers or see a technique then that’s alright.

There is no charge or membership requirement to join us. We do ask that minor children be accompanied by an adult. Most nights will end around 8 or when everyone has tied all the flies they wanted for the night.

There will also be two sessions held in Punxsutawney starting on Monday January 16^th. They will be meeting at Punxy Pizza the first week.
