The Best Stillwater Trout Fishing in the Northeast
George David Clee, Jr., 96, passed away peacefully on August 10, 2025.
George, husband to Ingrid Clee and father to Christopher Wayne Clee and Jennifer Clee Engel, was an avid fisherman and hunter; he belonged to Limestone Trout Club, Kingdom Game Club and Suffield Sportsman’s Association. He loved the outdoors. George travelled the world as part of the US Government Foreign Service and was an avid reader. We will miss his fun nature, knowledge and larger than life presence.
Limestone held the annual One Fly contest on Saturday, May 15th, after a year hiatus. The event was organized by members Bob Hoffman and Eric Hutchison. Eric also helped with the trout measuring and weighing along with Scott Simko and Fred Jeans.
The beautiful day unfolded with 21 contestants vying for the chance to claim the “title”. All contestants signed in at the clubhouse with their favorite fly selection before the 10 a.m. start. Rules required the contestants to use the same fly or an exact copy during the allocated two hours of fishing. The winning fish was based on both length and weight. Taking home the phantom crown was member Joe Czielowski with a 26 inch, 6 lb. brown from Cedar pond. Congratulations Joe!
After the event, a picnic lunch was prepared by members John Mitman and Richard Marone.
