Join us on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at the Whippany American Legion for our monthly chapter meeting. Our start time is scheduled for 7:30pm; we will take a few minutes to catch up with each other and then begin. Our special guest will be Ben Turpin. Ben has been a fly fishing guide and instructor in Eastern, PA for 30 years and now guides primarily in the Poconos. He is currently the Stream Manager for Pohoqualine Fish Association in Saylorsburg, PA, where he manages 10 miles of the McMichaels Creek and guides the members and guests. On his days off from the club you will find Ben guiding the Brodhead and McMichaels Creeks near Stroudsburg, PA or floating the Lehigh and the East and West Branches of the Delaware River. He also builds and repairs bamboo fly rods during the winter months. His presentation is called "Beer's with Ben 2.0." Ben will discuss and answer questions on topics such as fly presentation, fly patterns, fishing techniques, stream management, and more.
LOOKING AHEAD: One of our two biggest fundraisers is the potluck dinner/auction in December. Please begin to think about things that you would like to donate for the auction now. We would like to have some really great stuff this year!
