Ugly Sweater outing Dec. 12

The Mianus and Candlewood Valley chapters of Trout Unlimited will hold their Ugly Sweater Fishing Outing on Saturday, Dec. 12.

Meet at UpCountry Sportfishing, 352 Main St. in New Hartford, then fish on your own in small groups. There will be a mid-day coffee and fire at the outdoor pavilion in People’s State Park on East River Road in Barkhamstead.

Fast forward to 21;30 in this clip to watch scenes from a previous Ugly Sweater outing.

Anglers are asked to wear masks in the shop, in parking areas and when congregated less than 10 feet apart, and say at least a rod’s length apart on the water.

Ugly sweaters are not required, but registration is. Click here for more information and to sign up.
