We will be holding an Election for Board Members, which will include the offices of President and Vice President. These positions are currently being held by me and Mike Greenlee. Our Treasurer, Jeff Johnson, will be providing our Financial Report. Don Dean and Spencer Reames will be discussing the TIC (Trout in the Classroom) program that is ongoing in the Benjamin Logan School District. Joe Conroy from the ODNR will be updating us with information on the new Brown Trout study and the direction of the Trout Program in Ohio. We will be holding a  HUGE raffle plus we will be auctioning the 50th Anniversary TU Fly Rod. This is a great chance for members who have not fished the Mad to get out and fish the Mad River, either before or after the meeting. If you are planning a weekend around it, please check out the Simon Kenton Inn. There is a direct link to their information on our links page. If you do plan on attending the meeting, please send me an email, madriverbrown@yahoo.com. Our 2012 Action Plan and Calendar of Events are being updated and you can check out all of this at the TU Information and Calendar tabs. We are also looking at Saturday, February 25 as a special workday to plant willow cuttings at State Route 36. I will send out a membership e-mail when this is finalized. <BR><BR> On Saturday, February 4, 2012, the Greater Cincinnati Fly Fishing Show will be held in Fairfield, OH at the Receptions Conference Center. The Madmen have supported this show for many years and once again will be having a table. The folks at BUFF (Buckeye United Fly Fishers) do a very nice job with this. The show is from 9:00 until 4:30 and the cost is just $5.00 to get in. For more information and directions please go to <B><a href="http://www.buckeyeflyfishers.com/FlyFishingShow/2012show.htm">Buckeye United Fly Fishers (BUFF) Greater Cincinnati Fly Fishing Show</a></B><BR><BR> On Thursday March 8, 2012 the  Fly Fishing Film Tour will be coming to Ohio.

TU Madmen is a Sponsor of this show and encourage folks to get there around 6:00 PM for raffles, information, etc. <BR><BR> The Madmen Chapter will be very busy in 2012. In 2011 we got involved with the local Boy Scouts through our Monitoring Program, witnessed the beginning of a TIC Program in the Mad River Watershed and continued maintaining the public access points through cleanups and trail maintenance. In 2012 we will be continue with our Monitoring Program, help support the Benjamin Logan School District with their TIC program, support the ODNR and their current Brown Trout Study, have another Fall Fishing Survey and continue clean-ups and regular maintenance to the access points. Take care!<BR><BR> Don Boysel<BR> President Madmen Chapter </B></P> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
