CHAPTER MEETING WED June 18th @ 7:30 PM

Our speaker for the June 18, 2008 meeting will be Bill O’Brien of Shore Tackle and Custom Rods. Bill specializes in custom built rods and tackle specific to the Chesapeake Bay region. He has fished throughout the eastern United States, and has made his residence on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for the last 30 years. His presentation will cover light tackle and fly fishing the Chesapeake Bay during the summer months. If you’re tired of searching for a rod you like to fish with, you can talk to Bill about having a rod built exactly the way you want.
