Seneca Valley Trout Unlimited

Spring is here and, for those of you who do not fish year-round, it’s time to get out your rod and reel, buy your fishing license/trout stamp, and hit your favorite body of water.  If you don’t have a rod or need another one, come here John Lachin, one of our Chapter members, talk about rod-building.  This is not a class where you actually build a rod.  John will tell you about rod building and, hopefully, get you interested enough to want to build your own – it’s apparently not that difficult and a lot less expensive than buying one.  At a later date, John plans to hold a rod-building class, where you would actually build your own rod over several sessions.

John asks that you bring the following to the meeting, as it will help you to better understand what he is describing:

            A rod (any rod – fly or spin casting)

            Two small boxes, with notches cut into the ends, to support a rod section

            Some thread (the thicker the better) and a bobbin (the kind used for fly tying)

            A hardcover book

            Note paper and a pen/pencil – John will have a handout, with the basic steps for building a rod, but you may wish to take notes.

Hope to see you there!  Bring a friend.
