Holy crap, Alex, that's a big fish! Did you have to go on disability after you lifted it for this picture?Attention fellow TU-ers: We have a meeting this Wednesday and Alex Barkume, smiling proudly here, will continue his report of the Three Amigos' adventures in Chile and Argentina with photos and film of fishing for these beast fish that know almost no fear of humans. Also included will be additional commentary from Mike Gentry and Andy Andrews, who can attest to how many fly rods were broken by their fishing party.
As always, doors upstairs at the Lucky Lab open at 6:30 for social drinking, with the meeting formally starting at 7pm. This program is free and open to the public. See you there.
Rd. 48 is closed due to snow. Rd. 43 may be open. Bob Williams (new guy)

A Report on ODFW's 2009 Radio Telemetry Project
Presented by Tom Murtagh
ODFW Regional Fish Biologist
Thursday February 25, 2010
6:30-8:30 pm
Fanno Creek Brew Pub
12562 SW Main St, Tigard
Tom will present results of the 2009 Coho radio telemetry project aimed at providing baseline information on the distribution and movement of coho upstream of Willamette Falls. A record number of 25,000+ coho salmon passed through the ODFW counting facility at Willamette Falls in the 2009. ODFW biologists tagged 80 individuals with radio telemetry tags and tracked their upstream movements using mobile (boat and airplane) and fixed receivers. Tom swill show maps of the distribution of the tagged coho within Willamette River tributaries including the Tualatin River. Watch the YouTube video of biologists radio-tagging coho at Willamette Falls.
