Coffee, water and softdrinks will be on hand, and you are free to BYOB if you are looking for an adult beverage. A hot lunch will be served around noon for a nominal fee.

Rules if bringing gear to sell or swap: You are responsible for your gear and any transactions that take place.

Please join us for guest speaker Mike DiSarno, Region 8 Biologist DEC. The meeting starts at 7pm. Mike will be presenting electrofishing data results from the 2023 study on Oatka Creek.

See you soon! All are welcome, bring a friend!

The meeting is at the Orivs Rochester Store, 3349 Monroe Ave, Rochester NY

Our Guest Speaker this Wednesday is Aldo Pescatore-Tardioli owner and Co-Host of the Podcast series So-Fly.

James L. Markham, senior aquatic biologist with the DEC, will be presenting on the steelhead in Lake Erie. His presentation will be a general overview of everything steelhead on Lake Erie, including stocking, strains, management, research, and the fishery, mainly focused on NY tribs.

The presentation will focus on the angling opportunities that can be found during specific time frames of the year in an effort to pair the angler with their desired experience. We'll review the general angling techniques that are effective during each time frame and including a History of Douglaston Salmon Run and the experience it offers to anglers.

As part of Orvis' on-going commitment to giving back to nature, join the Rochester store as we participate in National Cleanup Day. We will meet at Channing Philbrick Park on Irondequoit Creek for a stream clean-up event.

Youth & Diversity Engagement Opportunities within TU community

The Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited is proud to host the 2023 International Fly Fishing Film Festival in Rochester, NY on March 25, 2023 at The Little Theatre featuring 10 short and feature -length films.

Join Orvis Rochester & Canandaigua Lake Trout Unlimited as we host local guide Rick Kustisch. Rick will be discussing the pursuit of steelhead in the Great Lakes Region.

Instead of our regular January meeting, we have partnered with Orvis Rochester to bring Tom Rosenbauer to Rochester, NY.  Tom Rosenbauer has been a fly fisher for fifty years and was a commercial fly tier by age fourteen.  A native of Rochester, NY, Tom grew up fishing Oatka and Spring Creek.

Location TBD! In years past we’ve used Chen Garden. They are under new management, so we are looking for a new location. Please let us know if you have any ideas.

On November 26th we will be assessing Oatka Creek water quality by counting the prevalence of different types of bugs (known as macroinvertebrates) that live in the stream. A few weeks ago we placed packs of leaves into riffles, which create colonies of macroinvertebrates that trout feed on. We will remove those packs, pull out the bugs, sort them by type, count them, and put them back into the stream.

We're very excited to announce that we are co-sponsoring an event with Orvis on November 12, 2022. George Daniels will be joining us to speak about European Nymphing.
