22nd Annual Ithaca Fishing Day - March 15 2014

[Fall Creeker]

The Leon Chandler Chapter of Trout Unlimited is sponsoring Ithaca Fishing Day and we have expanded our focus beyond just fly-fishing to encompass all aspects of fishing and cold water conservation. 

 

The date for the 22^nd Annual Ithaca Fishing Day is Saturday, March 15, 2014 from 9 am to 4 pm.  Once again, the event will be held at the Boynton Middle School in Ithaca, New York.

 

Ithaca Fishing Day a unique event inviting the community to come and experience a day of fishing and cold water environmental education.  This event is free to the public and all proceeds raised benefit the youth environmental education activities of our local Trout Unlimited Chapter, including our exciting Trout in the Classroom program currently in fifteen local elementary, middle and high schools as well as the Cayuga Nature Center.

 

While the event continues to offer a special focus on fly-fishing directed at young people it is also of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about the sport of fishing and the local cold water environment.  Lectures and programs are planned throughout the day and as always, will include: free fly-casting and fly-tying instruction, as well as opportunities to learn fishing and fly tying tips from regional experts; and discussions on open-water fishing on the Finger Lakes.

 

A variety of vendors will be on hand with a wide assortment of their goods available for sale.  This includes:  Badger Creek Fly Fishing, Cortland Line, D&D Baits and Tackle, and Mad River Tackle and Dubbing Company.  Our special exhibitors include: The Cayuga Lake Floating Classroom Program, Trout in the Classroom Program, Cayuga Nature Center, Cortland Field Archers-Izaak Walton League, the Twin Tiers Five Rivers Chapter of the FFF, and more.

Really enjoyed this show last year. Although not into fly fishing much anymore, I learned about jigging for lake trout. Hope Alec and Les will be there!

This is a very fun event, unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year.  Glad you enjoyed it and got something from it!  The TU folks do a great job running this, thanks guys. There is a lot for kids to do and see which is awesome.  Animal skulls, fly tying, a raffle and more- fun stuff, enjoy!
