Join the Monocacy Chapter at 7pm, Tuesday January 22nd as we welcome Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions. If you have ever searched for fly tying videos, you have almost certainly come across Tim's videos. Tim will be presenting, "Getting Ready For Spring”. Tim has been featured as a presenter and tier at many venues around the country. He is a regular guest tier and presenter at the International Fly Fishing Symposim, as well as the numerous locations of the Fly Fishing Show. Tim's fly tying video productions featured on the Orvis and Midcurrent web pages, among
others. Here is a sample of one of these outstanding videos:
Drones to track one of the largest dam removals on the Eastern Seaboard
Bloede Dam (ca. 2016) near Ilchester, Maryland.

This month, the Bloede Dam will be removed from the Lower Patapsco River near Ilchester, Maryland.
The restoration is a one-of-a-kind natural experiment that will help test how relatively inexpensive drones can help scientists like me understand the integrity of streams and rivers.
My collaborators include students and researchers from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Maryland Geological Survey, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Geological Survey.
If our approach works, it will allow us to track sediment movement more completely and accurately than ever before, at a fraction of the expense.

The "Put and Take Table" is back!
This is not a sale, but a way to "pay it forward" and get rid of any
gear etc. you no longer use or need. So bring along those rods, reels, fly
tying tools etc. that are collecting dust and see if someone else can use
it. **If you bring it and can't get rid of it, you have to leave with
it!**
Pizza and light refreshments!!
As always, meetings are free and open to the public. We hope to see you there.
