Scott Kashin Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 I am a new member and was looking for an organization that was devoted to stream conservation, fishing ethics and environmental stewardship and it appears I found it. I have been fishing in the area since I was old enough to hold a rod, mostly in the strip-mine pits that make up the campgrounds south of the city. I grew up in Chicago, south side and relocated to Manhattan several years ago. I have re-discovered fly fishing after a 20 year hiatus and have become very involved with stream repair and conservation in the area, including the Knk and DpR waters specifically. Anything I can contribute, time wise or monetarily that would help our fisheries would be no issue, just ask. Anyway , nice to meet you and hope to hear from some of you maybe. Quote
Kev-mo Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Welcome! Thanks for your work the Knk and DpR! Are you coming to the BlowOut Saturday? Good place to meet people. Quote
Scott Kashin Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Posted March 4, 2020 Unfortunately I'll be in Kentucky picking up my daughter from UofL this Saturday and I wanted to go but that's how it works. I want to possibly organize a clean up for either waterway, my wife loves to do that stuff. Quote
Terry Dodge Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Welcome! Be sure to take advantage of all the outings and meetings you can. Quote
Ed Buric Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Welcome aboard Scott, I do believe that you will like it here. You sure sound like our kind of guy. Contact me or any officer and we can work out organizing a clean up event. Quote
Bart Durham Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Welcome Scott! Please circle May 16th on your calendar to come help out the ISA at this years DuPage River Sweep clean up effort! Quote
Scott Kashin Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Posted March 4, 2020 That sounds great, I should be there with reenforcments too. I'm going out Sunday finally to check on the Knk. Quote
Scott Kashin Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Posted March 4, 2020 Let me know if the organization needs anything, including trash bags/cans, grabbers, gloves etc. Quote
