TN Council Meeting

Please join us for the spring meeting of the Tennessee Council of Trout Unlimited on April 15, 2023

The meeting will start at 9:30am eastern time and will be held at the Riverview Baptist Church (1419 Broad St, Elizabethton, TN 37643).  All Tennessee TU members are invited to attend.

A light breakfast will be available, and lunch will be provided after the meeting.

Jeff Wright, Southern Appalachians Project Manager for Trout Unlimited, will update us on the status of the TU national projects that are occurring in our area.

The council will hear updates from the John Thurman Trout Adventure Camp, Trout in the Classroom, and chapter activities.  The council’s new Climate Change Coordinator, Philip Tipton, will introduce himself and give an update on the latest climate change plans.  We will also hear a report from Mark Spangler, National Leadership Council Representative, on items from a national level.

We are still looking for someone to step up and take the Vice Chair position.  If anyone is interested, please contact Ryan Turgeon.

Wade-fishing will be available after the meeting.  The church sits right along the banks of the Watauga River and there is some excellent fishing right there.  If you would rather fish the South Holston River, you can be there in 25 minutes.  There are also numerous smaller mountain streams within a 25-minute drive that you can fish as well.  

We hope to see you there,
Ryan Turgeon - TN Council Chair
