Bechtold was introduced to fishing before entering grade school by his grandmother. He began fly fishing in the ’80s. A life member of TU, he is active in Downeast Trout Unlimited chapter 305, according to a news release from Tammy Packie with Downeast Trout Unlimited.
He continues to expand his fly-fishing skills, and this past year he completed a goal on his bucket list to build a bamboo fly rod.
The hybrid meeting will be held in person at the Moore Community Center, 125 State St. in Ellsworth, and via Zoom. To register, visit facebook.com/DowneastTU.
