 This year is an exciting one for our club. We are beginning an ambitious project on Waterloo Creek where our chapter is focusing efforts on bank stabilization using minimal amounts of rock and sloping banks back as flat as possible and plant all disturbs areas to native prairie. All work is being done through our Chapter on a publicly owned ground. The raffle grand prize is a 8' Clark Fork Pontoon Boat & a RLS 8'6" 4 wt Fly Rod and Reel Combo donated by Cabela's, Prairie Du Chien.
