Northwest Fly Tyer Expo: TU in the field

TU Chapter 678 was on hand at the Northwest Fly Tyer expo in Albany, OR this weekend to recruit new members and educate attendees about how to make their conservation dollars go farther in Oregon.

Many of the people that came by the booth were already TU members, but were not aware of Chapter 678's role in Bull Trout habitat restoration or the fishing trips we have planned for 2007. We also promoted members to sign up through their local chapter, keeping a larger percentage of the chapter dues right here in Oregon.

By signing up with the local chapter, $14 of the membership dues stays right here. Talk to your chapter representatives when it's time to renew about how you can do more for your state.

Check out Oregon Outdoor Journal for more coverage of the event, and the gallery of Oregon Fly patterns.
