Man Sentenced in Fish Poaching Case

Rhody Members and Friends,
This, in part, is what’s happening to the striped bass population on the east coast.
I do hope more prosecutions will be forthcoming in getting rid of the overfishing and black market selling of stripers.
Read this story and see how many pounds of fish were involved, and how much money was involved.
This should make your blood boil!
Best,
Peter

 

December 2014 Meeting / Newsletter

Dec 7
Rhody Fly Rodder Members and Friends,

This month we will have our Annual Fly Tying Extravaganza. We’re asking all members to come to this meeting and participate in our fly tying event for charity. We will be tying flies, to be later sold at our meetings, and at fly shows we attend, with proceeds this year going to our own, SAVE THE BAY.
Last year we raised nearly $400. for ‘Project Healing Waters” and this year we want to raise even more for our own SAVE THE BAY for the great work they do in protecting ‘our bay’. We believe as fishermen, boaters, and users of this wonderful resource, should give back something to help this worthy organazation. We hope to do a small part to help protect this resource.
Will will have free soft drinks, snacks, coffee and cookies to keep you tying for a good cause. We will also have our famous Bucket raffles and Santa promises a great Christmas door prize.
Please plan on joining us on Tuesday, December 16th at 6:60pm. We need you!  It’s a Christmas Tying Party!!!!
Thank you and Happy Holidays to you all!
Peter
