During 2011, approximately 6400 ft. of stream along Six Mile Branch in Grant County were improved.

The Nohr Chapter Needs Your Help!

The Nohr Chapter needs some membership participation on a number of projects. Please participate wherever you can. If you can help with any of the items below, please contact the president of the Nohr Chapter, Brian Larson, at blarson@pcii.net. Don't pass up these opportunities!

• Finance Study

  We are wondering if anyone with some finance background could volunteer to look at our non-trust finances.

• Newsletter Editor

  We need a newsletter editor. We would like to get out quarterly newsletters by email and regular mail.

   

Reel Recovery

We have an opportunity to extend the Christmas season of giving by helping out a fly fishing organization called Reel Recovery. Reel Recovery is a national non-profit organization that provides free fly fishing retreats to men battling life-threatening cancer. Your Nohr Chapter is giving $100 to this cause, but we can expand on this through individual financial, usable equipment, or fly donations. You may even want to expand your donation to a more personal contribution by becoming a volunteer and fishing buddy at one of their outings. Retreats in the Driftless Area are planned to take place in late summer 2012 near Onalaska, WI and Decorah, IA. More information about Reel Recovery is available on their web site at www.reelrecovery.org. If you wish to make further contributions, please contact Andrew Skog by email at skog125@gmail.com or by phone at 608-482-0157.
