Rock Creek Outing

Join us at our 27th Annual Outing at Rock Creek in the Daniel Boone National Forest at Bell Farm!  

The outing will begin with a stream cleanup (clean where you cast!), followed by a picnic lunch sponsored by the chapter.  Following lunch, chapter members will offer instruction in fly tying and fly casting.  After the classes conclude, participants will disperse throughout the area and test their skills against the wily rainbow trout, who have been wintering in Rock Creek.  We may even have time to conduct a stream assessment and macro invertebrates search!  

The day will conclude with a potluck dinner around the campfire at Great Meadow Campground.  Dutch oven deserts and fish tales will be a part of the evening festivities.
