SUMMARY:Fishing the Local Waterways with Rowan Lytle
DESCRIPTION:Are you a fishing enthusiast? Have you always wanted to be one? Or are you just interested in the fish that are likely to be lurking in the waterways you encounter while hiking the trails of Lyme? Either way\, you’ll be interested to hear this talk focusing on our local waterways. \nLocal angler and fishing guide Rowan Lytle relies on healthy fisheries to make a living. In this presentation at the Lyme Public Hall\, he describes the history of some fisheries in and near the Lyme area\, the challenges they have faced or still face\, and what role anglers and guides can and should play in their protection\, along with the role land preservation plays in not only preserving the waterways on that very land but those nearby. He pulls from his unique perspective as both a resource stakeholder and a staunch conservationist to come to conclusions that not every fishing guide might come to. \nA registered Connecticut fishing guide\, Rowan operates both wading and canoe-based trips in central and eastern state waterways. He has been fishing ever since he can remember and an avid fly fisher since he was 14 years old. He fishes between 250 and 320 days each year\, catching over 160 different fish species on the fly. He has traveled all over the Eastern US to fish for species big and small\, and has learned how to do long fishing trips on a tight budget. \nRowan has written about fishing since 2012\, both for his own personal blog\, Connecticut Fly Angler\, and for fly fishing and outdoors print publications. He has guided\, taught fly-casting instruction\, and tied flies commercially. Rowan advocates for the protection and preservation of wild native fish and the ecosystem needed to sustain them. He was featured in a recent article in The Fisherman: https://www.thefisherman.com/article/pro-files-rowan-lytle-the-fly-rod-naturalist/ \nTo register for this talk\, please email: education@lymelandtrust.org \nThe Lyme Public Hall is at 249 Hamburg Rd. (Rt. 156) in Lyme\, CT.

SUMMARY:March 14\, 2026 Astronomy Observing Session
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled due to field conditions– \n  \nTime to start up again after the winter break; let’s hope the snow is long gone. We can still enjoy the highlights of the winter night sky with Orion and Gemini visible in the south at the session’s start. Jupiter beams brightly high in the sky with three of its four large moons visible as well. The fourth large moon\, Europa\, will peek out from behind the planet at about 9pm. \nWe have several different telescopes that are on display including a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain housed in a permanent observatory. Inside the observatory\, views are afforded at the eyepiece and via real-time digital enhancement. Public sessions are co-facilitated by one or more of our growing cadre of astronomy cohorts: Mark Borton\, Roger Charbonneau Jr\, Jon Dean\, Jay Drew\, Deb Fennell\, Scott Mallory\, John Natale\, Lee Polikoff\, Parag Sahasrabudhe\, Mark Strollo\, Jerry Tardif and Alan Sheiness. \nYoung or old\, experienced or totally unfamiliar\, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme. And if you have a telescope\, we encourage you to bring it out. The more\, the merrier. Just follow the guidelines in the pdf you receive when you RSVP. \nPLEASE NOTE:\nUpon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. Bear in mind\, observing sessions involve walking in the dark on uneven terrain. You should expect to encounter patches of grass\, ruts\, exposed stone\, etc. as is common throughout Lyme’s natural landscapes. Please wear appropriate footwear and have a red-light source handy. For those in need\, a loaner red light will be provided at the parking and at the main observatory.  \nFor questions or comments\, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org. \nClear skies! \nPS\nIs it cloudy out? Then click here to see the full Trail 53 Astrophotography Gallery! \n\nThe Lyme Land Trust Astronomy Group aspires to inspire and pursue the advancement of knowledge of astronomy through public outreach programs including but not limited to observation events\, education programs\, and presentations about varied astronomical topics by our members and guest speakers.  \nIf you like these programs and you are not currently a Lyme Land Trust Member\, please consider joining us using the green Become A Member link at the top of the LLT page.
