Call for Volunteers!
Please come join the Rabun Chapter on Thursday, April 27 for a stream conservation project. We will be working under the supervision of the US Forest Service and GA Department of Natural Resources to construct new stream structures and perform maintenance on existing stream structures in Reed and Heddon Creeks. We will meet at 8:30 am at the “Double Bit” dispersed camping area, located alongside Reed Creek just off the Burrells Ford Road.
From Clayton, GA take Warwoman Road (next to Ingles) approximately 13 miles to the intersection with GA Hwy 28.
Turn right onto GA Hwy 28 and go approximately 1.7 to Burrells Ford Road (FS Road 646) on your left.
Turn left onto Burrells Ford Road. This road is a fairly well-maintained gravel road. Go approximately 5 miles to a woods road on your left. This road will be marked with a TU sign.
Turn left onto this woods road and go 100 yards to the parking area. This woods road is rough and there is a shallow ford in the road. You may also park on the Burrells Ford Road and walk to the work project along the woods road.
Contact Tammy Hopton, Rabun Chapter Prez, at teajatee@gmail.com if you need more information.

Foothills October Monthly Meeting
Our guest speaker for the October Foothills Trout Unlimited meeting
will be Ben Smith. Ben has been guiding in northeast Georgia for a few years and now works with Unicoi Outfitters. One of Ben's specialties is Euro Nymphing so this is your opportunity to hone your own skills in this technique. This meeting will take place on the water at Nacoochee Bend on October 13th beginning at 5:30 PM. It is recommended you park in the gravel parking lot in front of Habersham Winery, across the highway from Nora Mill. There was an expressed interest in having more "How To" programs for our chapter members. We intend for this to be the first of many.

April Monthly Meeting
Date: 04/14/2022
Time: 6:00
Location: United Community Bank
468 W Louise Street, Clarkesville, GA 30523
Program: Israel Patterson Introduction
Back to back meetings. It's a little beyond April Fools, so hopefully you don't think this is a joke. No really, meetings are a thing again. Not COVID, Putin or Pollen will stop us from keeping our traditions going.
This month, we are joined by the newest member of the Unicoi Outfitters family: Israel Patterson. Israel previously lived in northern Colorado with his wife and daughter where he was a professional fly fishing guide in and around Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. In addition to his skills as an angler, Israel is also an accomplished photographer.
You can find some of his photos on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/israelpatterson
Jimmy says he thinks he's a perfect fit, so he must me alright. We hope you can join us to show Israel a warm welcome to our area and chapter.
As usual, general chat starts at 6:00, business at 6:30 and then our program at 7:00. We hope to see you there.

Foothills March Monthly Meeting - 3/10/22
With the warmer temperatures we’ve had this week it feels like spring out there. I hope everyone is doing well and getting out and enjoying themselves. Thankfully, Covid seems to be abating and restrictions are being curtailed. We will resume our monthly meetings again beginning the 2nd Thursday in March in the community room at the United Community Bank in Clarkesville, Ga. on Louise St. It is my understanding that a speaker has been booked so we will return to our regular schedule, 6 – 6:30 social time, 6:30 – 7 business, 7-8 presentation. I hope everyone will attend.
We continue to mourn the loss of our friend and foothills member Warren Adams. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.
I look forward to seeing everyone again on March 10th and returning to some semblance of normal.
