Something Fishy!!!

Something Fishy: “Shocking” Data from the Teton Watershed

During the summer of 2010, Friends of the Teton River partnered with Idaho Fish & Game, Wyoming Game & Fish, the US Forest Service, and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation to complete extensive fisheries research in the Teton Watershed.  Results of this research, and their implications for the future of the Teton River’s valuable fishery, will be the focus of Friends of the Teton River’s next Water Wise presentation, on Wednesday, May 25th at 7PM. 

During the summer of 2010, electro-fishing techniques were used to assess trout populations on 15 Teton River tributaries, and over 390 trout were implanted with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags to track trout movements past 6 PIT tag sensor sites, also installed during the summer.  Combined with creel surveys and main Teton River electrofishing surveys conducted by Idaho Fish and Game, these studies reveal important trends about the status of the Teton watershed’s valuable fishery.   This fishery is an important contributor to Teton Valley’s economy, and as such, management actions based on the results of these studies have wide-ranging implications for the community.

On May 25th, Idaho Fish and Game Regional Fisheries Manager Dan Garren, and FTR Restoration Director Mike Lien will reveal the results of recent research, discuss the management and restoration implications of this research, and share plans for future work.  In addition, Garren will discuss the new fishing regulations for the Teton River and tributaries, which took effect in 2011.  The presentation will take place at the Driggs Senior Center, and will begin promptly at 7PM.  Light refreshments will be available beginning at 6:30.  For more information on this presentation or the Water Wise Community Education series, please call Friends of the Teton River at 354-3871 or visit www.tetonwater.org.

Don't miss WCA on the Sportsman Channel

Committed to cold water conservation, our friends at Trout Unlimited asked WCA to help in filming an episode of their TV Show, "On The Rise," on the Teton River this past summer.  Complete with film gear and crews, WCA dropped three rafts into the Teton Canyon to help show the world this magnificent fishery as well as the multiple threats that could potentially destroy this fishery in the future.  Enjoy the clip above and be sure to tune in to the Sportsman Channel for more episodes of "On the Rise".

WCA's Mike Dawes wins 2011 March Merkin!

The sixth annual March Merkin tournament, held at the Key West Harbour Yacht Club, ended on a high note last week after 26 boats spent 3 days chasing the elusive Permit.  10 total fish were caught during the three days including the 3 fish caught by Mike Dawes to win the tournament.  WCA's Jim Hickey placed 5th with 1 fish caught during the three days.  18 boats did not catch any fish.  Congrats!!!

Jackson Hole Winter Fly Fishing!

Winter Fly Fishing in the Jackson Hole area can be a blast and with the recent warmer temperatures we have been receiving fishing should only improve.  We'll let you in on a secret: some of the biggest cutthroats in the Snake River are caught during the winter and spring, some even on dry flys.  All WorldCast Anglers trips are $50 off until May 15th, so contact us if you are interested.  Check out this video by our friends at Orvis about how to be comfortable during those winter days on the water.
