Feb 24 meeting notice

The Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited will be holding our monthly meeting on Thursday January 18, 2024 at 7 pm. We will have PA Fish and Boat Commissioner Bill Brock. He will update everyone with changes to the upcoming trout season as well as answering questions.

We will meet at Penn State DuBois DEF Building Room 202.

It’s been some time since we were able to have someone from the commission come and speak to our group and would hope for a good turnout. As always please bring along a friend or two. If you have questions please call 814-371-9290.

2024 Fly Tying Roundtable

Come to the Penn State Campus DEF building January 4 at 6 pm 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. We will be holding these roundtables every Thursday through March 21.

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. 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.

For more information regarding DuBois sessions call:

George Kutskel 814-371-9290

For more information regarding Punxsutawney sessions call:

Codey Schlemmer 814-952-5295

2023-PA-Wilds-Champion-Award-Kelly-WilliamsKelly Williams of the Clearfield County Conservation District received the 2023 PA Wilds Champion Award for Conservation Stewardship. In addition to stream work and protecting wetlands, Williams was involved in the effort to improve water quality in the Deer Creek Watershed, which was impaired by Acid Mine Drainage and had not been able to support any aquatic life for over 70 years. Wild trout can now be supported in this beautiful area of the PA Wilds, thanks to efforts of Williams and her colleagues at Clearfield County Conservation District. 

Williams is a past recipient of the Golden Reel Award from the Allegheny Mountain Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The PA Wilds Champion Award was presented by Matt Marusiak, PA Wilds Center Board Member.
