Pierce Creek Reconnection Project
I am pleased to announce that the Ted Trueblood Chapter was recently awarded a $107,000 grant from the Southwest Idaho Resource Advisory Committee to restore fish passage between Pierce Creek and the South Fork Boise River. We will remove a culvert that has been a fish blocker. Our final push to make this project happen is the May 14 Fly Casting Tournament. See below for more information where you can participate and help.Chris JonesPresident, Ted Trueblood Chapter

November 12th Meeting to Highlight South Fork Boise Genetics Study
Make plans to attend an open joint meeting of TU and Boise Valley Fly Fishermen on Thursday, November 12, 2009 at the Boise Public Library to see a presentation on the genetic profile of the South Fork Boise River (SFB) fishery as well as hear a panel discussion of agency and angling community perspectives on Southwest Idaho’s greatest fishing water. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program will begin at 7:00 p.m. Enter in the doors on the 8th Street side at the southwest end of the building.
Helen Neville with the TU national science team based in Boise will present her findings based on the laboratory analysis of the genetic information sampled from more than 300 rainbow trout, and compare that information with dozens of wild trout populations in the North and Middle Fork Boise Rivers.
Idaho Fish & Game, the Boise National Forest, Bureau of Reclamation, TU and BVFF worked together in 2008 to sample the SFB fishery and adjacent tributaries to gather genetic information on redband or rainbow trout. The information presented November 12 will provide a foundation by which a conservation strategy for the SFB fishery could be developed.
