Call to Action! Attention All Rabunites!

December 13, 2020

We want to continue our efforts to conserve trout waters in Rabun County. Our team welcomes your help. While you are out fishing, if you see areas that could be improved or re- paired, such as erosion problems, stream siltation, streamside or in-stream trash, feel free to take pictures, identify the issue and location, and send the information to Justin and me. Our team will look into the issue, discuss with BOD, and see if it’s something we can remedy, or encourage our managing agencies to do so. Working together, we can all conserve the great water resources that make us proud to live, work, and play here!

Jan 19: Chapter Meeting

December 13, 2020

7 PM

Zoom

Rabun TU’s January 19 zoom program will be “Taking Better Fishing Fotos” by longtime chapter friend and commercial photographer David Cannon.

http://www.davidcannonphotography.com/

David’s pics and stories, from the Amazon to Alaska, are now seen in national magazines and cata- logs from Cabelas to Gray’s Sporting Journal. His latest work is a Georgia photo spread in the Nov/ Dec 2020 edition of American Fly Fishing Magazine. David’s second edition of Fly Fishing Georgia is expected to hit bookstore shelves next year. David gave us this program a decade ago and I’ve invited him back for a “new and improved” session on Fish Pics 101. If you want to take great fish pics, don’t miss it!

The program will start at 7pm, but we’ll open up the Zoom room at 645 so folks can get settled in.

Prez Tammy Wins Mack Martin Rod Sweepstakes

Chapter Prez Tammy Hopton held the winning ticket at the Chapter’s annual July 11 family picnic that she won the raffle for Mack Martin’s custom-built Winston 3-weight fly rod! The rod raffle brought in more than $1,800 to support our programs. That’s a new record. We can’t thank Mack enough for his generosity in crafting and donating such a beautiful trout tickler to our Chapter.
