Tuesday, October 8, 2019John MillerStepping Up Your Entomology GameJohn MillerEntomology simplified to identify the various insects trout feed on and in turn make you better at selecting an artificial to match the hatch. By learning the habitats of different insects, along with their behavior and the corresponding fish behavior you will be more effective in catching selective trout that often times seemed impossible before.John grew up in the Catskill Mountains, in upstate New York.
He began tying flies and flyfishing at an early age, perfecting his skills on the Esopus, Kaaterskill, Plattekill, Beaverkill and Schoharie Rivers.StoneflyHis knowledge of aquatic entomology and photography have enabled him to capture stunning photos that have appeared in several books, including the “Orvis Pocket Guide to Mayflies” by Dick Pobst, “Catching Shadows” by Rich Strolis, “Fusion Fly Tying” by Greg Senyo, “Selectivity” by Matt Supinski, and the re-release of Al Caucci ‘s “Mayfly ID Guide”. John’s work has also been in many magazines as well, Catch Magazine, Chasing Silver, Hatches, Fly Fisherman and more.
He’s also appeared in Fly Fish America as well.For more than 20 years, John has been a guide and fly-fishing instructor, and an Orvis Endorsed guide since 2002. He mastered his skill of Entomology with colleagues Al Caucci and Bob Nastasi. He guided in West Michigan at The Gray Drake Lodge where he honed his skills at fly fishing for Great Lakes steelhead.Weather it’s steelhead in the Great Lakes or chasing wild trout in the Catskills, you’ll find John near some piece of water guiding clients, fooling big browns or photographing the things that trout eat.For more info, visit. Struggling with localized flooding or unhealthy waterways?This course will help municipalities with green infrastructure planning and implementation to mitigate localized flooding and reduce the amount of pollutants entering local waterways.The Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program has completed green infrastructure plans for over 150 municipalities in New Jersey.
This course will help you understand how to use your plan to address stormwater problems in your community. If a plan is not already available for your municipality, we will share with you how to develop one. If you are part of the Sustainable Jersey program, there are 35 points available for green infrastructure planning and another 45 points available for green infrastructure implementation that will be discussed at this workshop.COST: FREEDATE: Thursday, October 10, 2019TIME: 7-9pmLOCATION: North Haledon Free Public LibraryMeeting Room129 Overlook AvenueNorth Haledon, NJ 07508Register here:Questions?

October 13 clean-up in Jamesburg!October 13 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pmOur Middlesex County Parks friends have made a special request for our October 13 clean-up: “can the LRWP help rally a team to clean-up the run-off areas near Jamesburg Lake”?The clean-up areas we will focus on are not streams, not quite detention basins, but on depressions in the landscape that collect run off and LOTS of trash. Heavy stormwater flows then funnel the trash right into Jamesburg Lake. Yuck!On Sunday October 13 we will meet at 10 am in the kennel parking lot at 652-654 Old Stage Road. Look for the Middlesex County Corps signs and truck, and the LRWP turtle.For this event please wear long pants with closed toe shoes – boots or sneakers are best. And be sure to dress in layers!

Hospitals would close without water. Firefighters couldn't put out fires and farmers couldn't water their crops.Some communities in America already know how impossible it is to try to go a day without our most precious resource: Water. But many Americans take water for granted every day. Imagine a Day Without Water 2019 is the fifth annual day to raise awareness and educate America about the value of water.Last year, over 1,000 organizations came together.
