On Wednesday April 15th at 7:00 pm, we will host a Zoom Video Conference as our April Chapter Meeting. Speaker Randy Walker, CVTU Board Member, will share slides, videos and accounts of his January trip with his son Ryan to enjoy summertime fly fishing in Patagonia during the North American winter.  

This Argentinian Chubut Province version of Montana fly fishing with Patagonia River Guides' Trevelin Lodge, included floats on the big tail water Rio Grande, the canyons and rapids of the Rio Corcovado, Arroyo Pescado spring creek in the desert, Lake Engano fishing for brook trout, and sight fishing in glacial waters of the Rio Rivadavia in Los Alerces National Park. Dry flies, hoppers with droppers and big streamer strip sets were all part of the trip in a geography that is both beautiful, vast, diverse and pristine.

We will be holding this "virtual" chapter meeting via the Zoom Communications platform. Board member John Hildenbrand will host, and a scheduled meeting link will be sent in a separate email next Wednesday morning.

You can join Zoom meetings with a laptop or desktop computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. If you are unfamiliar with using Zoom, we will hold a trial meeting on Monday April 13th at 7:00 pm, to help all of those who need assistance connecting. A link to that meeting will be sent out next Monday morning.

Your chapter Board has met via Zoom and several other CVTU members and friends have been holding virtual fly tying sessions during our shelter in place. The Zoom platform has proven to be a very reliable and simple platform for hosting meetings and virtual gatherings. We hope you will join us for this virtual meeting next week.

If you have any questions at all, you can email Mark McBeth at grt4dead@hotmail.com.
