Farmington River Outing
September 2007
As the seasons change and weather cools, the Farmington comes alive as trout begin a final feeding frenzy before winter sets in. The Mianus Chapter was there to capitalize on the action. Despite a slow start to the day, many members ended up catching fish, and all had a good time sharing the camaraderie on the river.

Connetquot River Outing
March 2006
Twice a year the Mianus Chapter heads to the fabled waters of the Connetquot River in Long Island. Nestled in the heart of an expansive state forest and wildlife sanctuary, the Connetquot was once the private hunting and fishing preserve of the wealthiest families in New York City. Now, open to the public, the river offers fishing where the days cathes number in the dozens for most anglers and there are ample chances at fish over 20 inches, and some over 20 pounds!
