Last year, circumstances forced the Edmonton chapter of Trout Unlimited to shut down.  I believe it was related to lack of participation by members to administer the chapter, as well as the size of the membership.  There was a core group of people that were taking care of the administration for years, and they just couldn’t do it anymore. 

Last night (unfortunately I had to miss the meeting) the Northern Lights Fly Tyers and Fishers formally (and unanimously) voted to change the club charter and name – and as a result, is now an official chapter of Trout Unlimited.  The name of the club is now Northern Lights Fly Tyers – Trout Unlimited Edmonton

I think that this is a good thing for sure – there was a lot of overlap in terms of the aims of the 2 organizations – likely a result of the orginal Northern Lights  club being formed as  a result of some T.U. members that were into tying flies!
