Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Sandy Lick Creek Stream Improvements – Phase I

September 1, 2009 by Matt M

On August 1, 2009, the chapter, Fish Commission, and other volunteers installed 3 double log vane structures in the Sandy Lick Creek by the DuBois Mall, upstream of where the flood control begins. Even with all the water (it rained all week) we were able to get into the creek and place these devices on the mall side of the creek. The bottom there is very rocky from when the flood control was built so we’re not sure how much cutting will occur, but it will help the creek some to be sure. We still need to install three on the other side and are planning to do this summer 2010. We had over 20 people come out and help.

Winter 2009 Newsletter

January 1, 2009 by Matt M

I would like to start off with wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hard to believe that 2008 is gone! It’s been a busy year for our chapter and 2009 looks even busier. We start the year off with a full complement of officers and directors. Matt Marusiak is our new vice president and Dave Henniger and Eric Wilson are new directors. We also made some changes to our meetings with the hope more people will come out and get involved.

Fall 2008 Newsletter

September 21, 2008 by Matt M

Wow where did the summer go? Seems like just yesterday we were fishing the Green Drakes. Too bad this summer turned out like last years with no rain. Now that September is upon us hopefully we will get some rain and the cool weather we’ve had will lead to some great fall trout fishing. Just because the chapter didn’t hold a regular meeting doesn’t mean were not busy, here is a quick wrap up.

I know that in the last newsletter I said the Matt Marusiak would be taking over as editor, but Matt has been very busy with his new job, so I will take one more stab at it.

Winter 2008 Newsletter

Happy New Year

I know it’s been some time since we last sent a newsletter out, but it’s hard to find someone with the time to do this every quarter. At least you have seen what’s going on through the State Council newsletter. Bill Mendat is no longer going to be doing the newsletter and Matt Marusiak will be taking over along with his duties with the website.

Winter 2006 Newsletter

January 1, 2006 by Matt M

Welcome

The 2006 Banquet will be the 40th in Allegheny Mountain’s history. To mark the occasion we are planning special prizes and guests. Mark your calendar now for April 1 at the Holiday Inn. Allegheny Mountain was the second Trout Unlimited Chapter in the state and we hope to be around for forty more years. In order to assure our survival we need to attract more youngsters to the group and are hopeful our Sandy Lick Creek Project can be one of the activities that accomplishes this.
