Central MA Chapter of Trout Unlimited – February Newsletter We would like to thank Tom Foley for his presentation on fly fishing history and fly fishing books. The meeting had a great turnout and we appreciate all the new faces that showed up. We hope you continue to join us and look forward to seeing more members in the future.

In March, Adam Kautza, Coldwater Fisheries Project Leader, will give a presentation on:
