This is the first meeting of 2017, which will be held on Thursday January 12th at 7:30, and it is a great way to start off the year. Here members can learn new fly patterns that will expand their arsenal and catch them more fish. We will have two guest fly tyers: Tim Flagler of TightLine Productions, and Mike McAuliffe of Regal Vices. In addition, Cliff and Erich Frie will represent some of our HTU accomplished fly tyers. This is one of our most popular meetings, with a chance to learn some new tying techniques or fly patterns. We hope to see everyone there.
Save The Date
Good News, Our banquet for this year is going to be held at Forte's Pizzeria (486 NJ-10 Randolph, New Jersey). The date will be Sunday March fifth, which is the first Sunday in March. We hope to see all of you for a great time with some pretty cool prizes and trips to win.
Happy Holidays!
This month we are having our annual holiday gathering on Thursday December 8th at 7:30pm. The night will consist of tasty food from fellow members, and an auction where some great prizes will be given away to the lucky winner. Along with the food and auction comes fun times, great fish stories and some excellent laughs. Remember to get your donations for the auction ready or cook your favorite food, and don't be afraid to bring a friend. We hope that everyone will be able to attend this wonderful night. Happy holidays everyone!
Congrats Jon Eng
Congratulations to Jon Eng, VP of Hacklebarney Chapter Trout Unlimited and winner of the Angler of the Year at the One Fly Contest at the Raritan Inn. He was subsequently honored at the Angler of the Year Banquet that evening. On the river last Saturday, he literally mopped up the competition with a fly that must be part alchemy. Beyond his passion for fly fishing, Jon is a conservation champion and can be found at either a tree planting or river clean up many week ends of the year. Like most of us, he joined Hacklebarney TU and benefitted from the sharing environment that helped him develop his skills. Thanks to Rich Thomas and the NJTU State Council, Jon will be joining Rich at the FUDOR one fly contest on the West Branch in 2017
Hacklebarney is proud to have you as a member!
