SUMMARY:OBTU Chapter Meeting January 17\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Jason Randall: \nTopic: ‘When All Else Fails; Tactics to Catch Trout on Slow Days’ \nDid you ever have one of those days when you just couldn’t seem to buy a trout? Any Trout? Well\, the truth is\, we all have days when we struggle. But the way to turn a slow day into a better day is to understand the ‘why’  and then you’ll be able to adjust so you can put a few more fish in the net. This presentation not only includes tips on new products\, rigging\, alternative presentations and techniques\, but also addresses the issues of leader shy and pressured fish. You’ll be able to add a few more fish to every day on the water. \n  \n \n  \nMore about Jason: \nJason credits much of his passion for fishing to his father. “Some of my earliest and happiest memories involve fishing\,” he recalls. “I remember many trips to Canada or Minnesota for pike and small mouth.” As a young man\, he learned fly fishing from other mentors. \nThe blessings we receive are meant to be passed on to others\, so to share his passion and knowledge\, in 2002\, Jason began a career as an outdoor writer with feature articles appearing regularly in American Angler\, as well as Fly Fisherman\, Fly Tyer\, Eastern Fly Fishing\, Northwest Fly Fishing and many other outdoor magazines.  His first book\, ‘Moving Water: A Fly Fisher’s Guide to Currents’ was released in 2012 by Stackpole/Headwater books.  It studies the effect of current on trout\, their prey species and our angling presentation. His second book ‘Feeding Time: A Fly Fisher’s Guide to What\, Where and When Trout Eat’\, was released in August of 2013.  It focuses on matching your fishing strategies to the trout’s feeding strategies\, especially when targeting large trout. In 2014\, the third book in the ‘Fly Fisher’s Guide’ trilogy was released- ‘Trout Sense; A Fly Fisher’s Guide to What Trout See\, Hear and Smell’\, which offers anglers an opportunity to know more about the quarry they seek. In April 2017\, Jason’s forth book was released from Stackpole/ Headwaters Books. Titled ‘Nymph Masters; Fly Fishing Secrets from Expert Anglers’\, this book explores the depths of nymph fishing and advanced nymph fishing techniques. \nIn 2017\, Jason joined Luminaries Bob Clouser\, Ed Jaworowski\, the late Lefty Kreh and many others on the TFO National Advisory Team and was the lead advisor for designing the TFO Drift rod and the family of TFO Stealth nymphing rods. Jason appears and presents at shows\, clubs and events throughout North America. \nAs originally announced on Dec 16\, the annual elections to take place are summarized below: \nNotice of 2024 OBTU Annual Meeting \nThe Annual Meeting of the general membership of the \nOak Brook Chapter of Trout Unlimited \nShall be called to order at \n7:00 PM on January 17\, 2024 at \nOak Brook Park District \nCentral Park West \n1500 Forest Gate Road \nOak Brook\, IL 60523 \n4 \nThe meeting shall be called to order for the purpose of Electing two Directors to \nserve full terms of Three (3) years. \nThe Leadership Development and Nominating Committee has nominated the \nfollowing members to serve a full term of 3 years as Directors: \nNominee: Keven Graham \nNominee: John Martyn \nFurther nominations may be made from the floor.
