NORRIS, TN — Spincasters, fly fishers, outdoor folk of any sort can barter, buy or sell fishing, camping or other outdoor gear (no guns, please) at the annual free, public swap meet of the Clinch River Chapter, Trout Unlimited, starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10, at St. Francis Episcopal Church, 158 W. Norris Road, Norris.
Everyone attending the swap meet is invited to take along surplus items to trade or sell. There’ll be bargains galore including lure-making and fly tying materials, fishing tackle, books, outdoor wear and much more. Admission to the event is free; on items sold for cash, the chapter requests donations of 10 percent to support its outdoor education programs for children, adults and disabled veterans.
The Clinch River Chapter’s mission is to conserve and protect the Clinch River tailwater trout fishery and its watershed, through conservation projects and through education in aquatic natural resources. Meetings are held the second Thursday of the month in the parish hall at St. Francis Episcopal Church, except when outdoor activities are scheduled. For information about the chapter, visit crctu.org.
