Trout Unlimited plans fishing outing
The Upper Susquehanna Chapter of Trout Unlimited presented a fly-tying program at Center Street School in Oneonta on April 6.
Eighty-nine Zonkers were tied, which were sent to the charity Healing Waters, which promotes fly-casting and fly-fishing as therapeutic activities in recovery programs for wounded and disabled veterans.
Healing Waters will use the Zonkers for teaching and in fishing practice. The Zonker is an artificial lure that imitates a small bait fish or minnow.
During April, members of the Upper Susquehanna Chapter of TU and the Otsego County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs joined with local children to assist the state Department of Environmental Conservation in stocking trout in local streams. The creeks where stocking took place included Oaks, Otego, Schenevus, Otsdawa, Wharton and Butternut and Elk Brook. A total of 11,500 8- to 9-inch and 1,240 12- to 15-inch brown trout were released in these streams. Additional trout stocking will be scheduled in May.
The chapter will have its May meeting on Monday, May 11. Members and guests are invited to a fishing outing on the upper Delaware River.
The group will meet in the picnic area of the Covered Bridge Park in Hamden, located across from state Route 10, to fish at various points along the river. The outing will begin at 2:30 p.m. and continue until dusk, with hot dogs grilled at 4:30 p.m. The informal event will proceed rain or shine.
