There are so many ways we can keep our rivers clean, healthy and full of life. Join us for our February meeting where you will hear from Alicea Charamut, Executive Director of Rivers Alliance of Connecticut and fellow fly angler, to hear about what is going on at the state-wide level and locally. What are the opportunities and challenges do our river face? What can you do to help?
