The Cutthroat Chapter proudly served as a volunteer sponsor for the City of Englewood’s Fins and Feathers event on Saturday, May 9, at Centennial Park.
At the CCTU booth, kids and parents had the opportunity to study live macroinvertebrates and learn the fundamentals of forming a fly-casting loop. Participants also enjoyed testing their fishing skills during the fishing derby and exploring the area on a guided nature walk along the water.
The event welcomed more than 50 attendees and featured participation from the City of Englewood, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and other community partners, making for a fun and educational day outdoors for everyone involved.

December - Fly Raffle Give Away
December's meeting is the annual White Elephant gift exchange. In the spirit of giving, the fly raffle will be giving away its stock of "for sale" items, mismatched flies, and other donations. Everyone will receive a ticket when they arrive. The drawing for "gift bags" will be after the White Elephant exchange. These door prizes will include shirts, hats, dvd's, flies, books, and miscellaneous items that the fly raffle has in stock. We are officially out of the merchandise business and sticking with raffling flies. So please continue to donate your best creations from your vise. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
