"Locating & Fishing Wild Trout Streams"
Virtual Speaker: Andrew Sarcinello
October 21, 2020
Our meeting and speaker for October's will be "Virtual", combining a joint presentation with NCCTU, our speaker will be Andrew Sarcinello.
Andrew is the Conservation Committee Chair for NCCTU and spends much of his free time searching for wild and native trout streams in central Maryland. He will talk with us about the resources that are publicly available to help anglers locate wild trout streams and the tactics for fishing them. He will also discuss the status of Maryland's wild and native trout populations, particularly in the Patuxent River, and the challenges they face.
Andrew's journey to learn about MD's wild trout gave him a deeper appreciation for native brook trout and the delicate environments that sustain them.
A virtual meeting link will be posted on the PPTU web page and additionally emailed to our membership and friends. https://amadeus.webex.com/meet/motti.tadmor.
Hope to see you virtually on Wednesday October 21st, at 8pm for our virtual meeting.
Tight lines,
Karan Singh
