 Welcome to the Bellevue/Issaquah Chapter 109 of Trout Unlimited

Monthly Meeting - Chapter monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, starting at 7:00 PM.

Our next chapter meeting will be on May 9.  Featured speaker will be Cam Sigler, owner of the Cam Sigler Co, which develops and markets high-quality fly fishing gear.  He will talk about salt water fly fishing.  For more information, look at his web site - http://www.camsigler.com/default.aspx  There will also be project updates and the ever popular fishing reports! Hope to see you there!

This month's meeting will be held at the Issaquah  Brewhouse
35 West Sunset Way (next to the fish hatchery)
Issaquah, WA 98027

Kokanee Fry Trapping - Its time to go fishing!  Well, its not really fishing as we all know and love.  But, its catching fish (Kokanee fry), counting them and releasing them.  We will be trapping and counting Kokanee fry on Ebright and Lewis Creeks beginning in March.  If you are interested in helping out, take a look at this spreadsheet , select a date that you will be available and contact Robert Metzger (425 765-1035) if you want to help on Ebright Creek and Mark Getzendaner (206 419-7321) if you want to help on Lewis Creek.  Driving directions to both creeks can be found here .  Don't forget the "Frequent Fryer Program" - the more times you volunteer for fry trapping the more chances you get to win a guided fishing trip with Derek Young.

Fishing Outings - The next outing will be at Lone Lake on Whidbey Island on Saturday, May 12.  For more information, contact John Silvey (425 463-6395). More details regarding car pooling, recommended flies, etc will be presented at the May 9 meeting. 

Board Meetings - Monthly board meetings are normally held on the 4th Wednesday of each month.   Next meeting will take place on April 25, 2012.

This month's meeting will be held at 
Issaquah Elk's Lodge
