Trout Unlimited March Meeting

By Beacon Staff

Don’t miss the March meeting of the Flathead Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited. On Tuesday, March 16, at 7 p.m. we will hold our regular meeting at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks conference room, 490 N. Meridian in Kalispell.

This month our meeting features a program by Jerry Kustich from Sweetgrass Rods in Twin Bridges. Jerry will address the group on the fishing and appreciation of fine bamboo fly rods. Learn about the history and craftsmanship that goes into a custom bamboo rod. Discover arcane rod building techniques such as the difference between quad, pent and hex configurations and why it’s important. You won’t want to miss this presentation.

We had a great time at the Great Rockies Sport Show this past weekend. Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth to share opinions and fishing stories. Also, don’t forget to start planning now for the Annual FVTU fundraising banquet at Grouse Mountain Lodge on May 8. Contact FVTU President Chris Schustrom at 406-260-1198 for information, banquet tickets or to pick up some raffle tickets for the fabulous raft package that we will be raffling off at the banquet. We will be releasing more information about the banquet in upcoming weeks.
