Sad News

The Monocacy Chapter has recently learned of the passing of Dr. Bob Saks.  "Dr. Bob", as he was known to friends throughout the Lehigh Valley, was as generous with his knowledge about fishing and life as he was with his trout pond.  The numerous ways Dr. Bob gave back to the angling, conservation, veteran, and local community are too numerous to list list, but suffice it to say if you knew Dr. Bob you knew he was one of the good ones.  God speed Dr. Bob.

Obituary can be found HERE: Dr. Robert M. Saks December 15, 1943 - February 22, 2023

 A few pictures from the TU archive of Dr. Bob, always teaching and sharing his love of fishing:

Why Volunteers Are Tracking Down Road Salt in Streams

 Ever wonder what happens to the road salt that is applied to roads during the winter?  Me either, but the Stroud Water Research Center has been working the issue of stream salinity after road salt has been applied, and the results are quite shocking. 

Check out the full article HERE

Oooops!

 The email that was sent earlier today (11/23/22) was intended to be sent yesterday as a reminder for our monthly meeting. To be clear there is NO meeting tonight.  Sorry for the confusion, have a happy Thanksgiving.
