The Dave Brandt Chapter of Trout Unlimited will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, March 9, at 7 p.m., marking a move to a new venue at the 6th Ward Athletic Club, 22 West Broadway in Oneonta.
Organizers said all future monthly meetings will be held at the athletic club. Parking is available in a lot across the street and along nearby blocks.
The featured speaker will be Marisa Orizolli, a physical fitness trainer who plans to focus on conditioning tailored to anglers preparing for spring. Her presentation will include at-home stretches and balance and strength exercises designed to engage the muscle groups used when wading and navigating rivers and streams. She is also expected to demonstrate techniques to reduce strain in the arms, shoulders and neck, and to offer guidance on safely putting on and removing chest waders and hip boots.
Chapter leaders said the program is intended to help make early-season outings safer and more comfortable. Following the presentation, the group will hold a brief business meeting. Coffee and refreshments will be served, and a monthly raffle will offer prizes, with tickets priced at $1 each.
Members and guests are invited to attend.
