    CHAPTER SHAD REPORTS

    During the shad run (usually April thru mid-June), our chapter sends out reports of fishing conditions at Fletchers Cove and elsewhere as we receive information. If you know someone who might want to receive these reports, email us with "SHAD" in the subject line and give us their name and email address. If you received shad reports last year, you don't need to resubscribe to get them in 2012.

    NCC-TU members are active throughout the region in many conservation and education projects. These include habitat conservation and restoration, summer youth conservation camps, integrating fly-fishing and tying into the therapeutic programs of recovering wounded military personnel, and other projects.

    Your participation and support of conservation and education are welcomed at both the local and national levels. To join us, click here.
