Bucks County Trout Unlimited

Hi Bucks TU, 
 
It's almost summer and the trout fishing is just winding down in this area; don't forget about the smallmouth bass fishing on the Delaware it's a lot of fun. I just hope it stops raining so the water levels come down a bit. 
 
CHAPTER REMINDERS: 
 
Next Meeting is Thursday July 2nd at the Lindquist Farm, at 4037 York Road, Furlong, PA 18925 and yes there is bass in the pond. We will be having a cookout again with people starting to gather around 5:30 PM with the burgers and dogs being served at 6:15 PM. I am working on a fun contest that I will make sure BJ and Andy will be handicapped. It is something like a three legged race. 
 
We need to have volunteers bring the sides again like at Ralph Stover. We need the following items. Potato, Marconi and Pasta salad, chips, pretzels and deserts. Please reply back with what you can bring. I know we have some talented chefs among our group. 
 
Directions: 313 from Doylestown and turn left onto York Road. Follow York Road Aprox. 1 mile up and over a hill at the bottom you will cross Watson Creek turn right into the farm. We will have our banner out on the fence.
