Removing the dam is expected to open over 87 miles of historic, “in-stream” habitat for coastal cutthroat trout, 28 miles for winter steelhead, and several miles for coho salmon, Pacific lamprey, mountain whitefish, and mountain and largescale sucker fish. The winter run of steelhead in the creek is protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. <br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHAT TO BRING:</b></span> a few bucks for a beverage and dinner from the OMP menus; throw in a few dollars for raffle tickets and your best dinnertime conversation to share with others!<br /> <br />Note: this meeting will be in-person and virtual - see your December 19th email inbox for meeting links if you cannot attend in person! </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"> </span></span></span></span><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggXCd7YD4gcLJ7XmdJPe115zHjCzDt5omLIv_qCSx2nMJdVmbGQPBP49E72j1wzBro52nnYqSDWxl_GCT2E3H1Wxh5mHRvTnYFYsufqiC2cruxV2nukw6sBhY4GV5TL7MhjKd7UkONC41DImXY4mI60u_FKemmDOn0IPaG2dIPIFuyZuyvW-cW2YfV/s2016/IMG_3592.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggXCd7YD4gcLJ7XmdJPe115zHjCzDt5omLIv_qCSx2nMJdVmbGQPBP49E72j1wzBro52nnYqSDWxl_GCT2E3H1Wxh5mHRvTnYFYsufqiC2cruxV2nukw6sBhY4GV5TL7MhjKd7UkONC41DImXY4mI60u_FKemmDOn0IPaG2dIPIFuyZuyvW-cW2YfV/s320/IMG_3592.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><u><span style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">CONSERVATION!</span></b></span></u></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHEN:</b></span> Saturdays, January 7 and 14, 2023<br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHERE:</b></span> Next Door to <a href="https://www.royaltreatmentflyfishing.com/">RTFF</a> and <a href="https://www.flyshopnw.com/">NWFFO</a><br /> <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHAT TIME:</b></span> 9:00 am to 4:00 pm<br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHAT to EXPECT:</b></span> Drop off your lightly used Christmas trees - no lights, ornaments, tinsel or <br />flocking allowed -and turn it into salmonid habitat!<br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Cost:</b></span> $10 per tree!</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPugv3HVu4cVh1gz6SL3_eS6L3BfPufzfE3Tov-eMRqGrUrv-83Ap24FDDnFy7XXfyKmoCZalC47Mp4nNzNbidepqX3cFQQJSvrDkSk4qYP97QMWZqCkgnDy0_0CB1ggF-XE8I1iX2H5aVOj5OVEj9zzvLJw3vrjJ66MtoNfc1IhGw9J0FNMs7gAP3/s2016/IMG_3597.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPugv3HVu4cVh1gz6SL3_eS6L3BfPufzfE3Tov-eMRqGrUrv-83Ap24FDDnFy7XXfyKmoCZalC47Mp4nNzNbidepqX3cFQQJSvrDkSk4qYP97QMWZqCkgnDy0_0CB1ggF-XE8I1iX2H5aVOj5OVEj9zzvLJw3vrjJ66MtoNfc1IhGw9J0FNMs7gAP3/s320/IMG_3597.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span><br /> <p></p><p></p>Jeff Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06211647659218768555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018904387934730578.post-16939380121315790672022-12-03T06:13:00.001-08:002022-12-03T06:13:00.198-08:00C4C-'23!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCpXkd11wI3yd8TssWBaVYAYALgpQ2-enadsW4xBi5SwiNmNd3Nv_igX3zSDtMJomLfxHAD8aJ8bWtnmo_Y3Rd8L2-SIiDbFE2acsdQcz3UO5_aViQCAW6VpQIw7TiEouVdsmyGECUAD7Wqn1RAvYruFF_2fyl6sJx8NSX_CBOXq4yI30YmVAxEcN/s243/Xmas_Coho_We%20Need%20You.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="205" data-original-width="243" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXCpXkd11wI3yd8TssWBaVYAYALgpQ2-enadsW4xBi5SwiNmNd3Nv_igX3zSDtMJomLfxHAD8aJ8bWtnmo_Y3Rd8L2-SIiDbFE2acsdQcz3UO5_aViQCAW6VpQIw7TiEouVdsmyGECUAD7Wqn1RAvYruFF_2fyl6sJx8NSX_CBOXq4yI30YmVAxEcN/s1600/Xmas_Coho_We%20Need%20You.png" width="243" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Christmas for Coho v.013 is getting organized; the general call for help went out and there are still a few places left that we need volunteers!<br /><br />Per Mike Gentry, volunteer wrangler:<br /><br />Thanks to those who have responded – I have a number of spots filled and have notified those filling them.

dam, sits in Gales Creek, a tributary of the Tualatin River. Removing
the dam is expected to open over 87 miles of historic, “in-stream”
habitat for coastal cutthroat trout, 28 miles for winter steelhead, and
several miles for coho salmon, Pacific lamprey, mountain whitefish, and
mountain and largescale sucker fish. The winter run of steelhead in the
creek are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act.</span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Gales
Creek hosts one of the Tualatin Valley’s most important areas for
winter steelhead. By removing this dam, we were able to open up miles
and miles of historic habitat. This project has been a high priority for
our watershed council for a very long time.</span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The dam at <span class="il">Balm</span> <span class="il">Grove</span> was built in the early 20<sup>th</sup> Century
to create a recreational area for residents including a popular
swimming hole, tavern and dance hall. The area has not been used in
several decades and the facilities are in disrepair, yet the dam
remained, blocking fish passage and creating a safety hazard. Clean Water
Services and the Tualatin River Watershed Council (TRWC) completed a robust plan to
ensure the dam was removed safely and fish and wildlife habitat is
restored with native plants and natural stream flow.</span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> -Scott McEwen/TRWC</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnvW9aPzpeVugbk483l8-yockU-mVwpRkwvFYpyy1H8cyY4eJ6oPxd9tZS801q4ezjwNZ79MhOB-G1jcQaZP-6-kWZLjhXW44JuQg44dWKRxrGPP1XUdcMLnc7jObYTE_2LyAnJVmtPH-8eZWiEEJAzLNFwaJy0cIgpEnQFBohkxv59MUWIOjLVzx/s500/Balm%20Grove%20before_aerial.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnvW9aPzpeVugbk483l8-yockU-mVwpRkwvFYpyy1H8cyY4eJ6oPxd9tZS801q4ezjwNZ79MhOB-G1jcQaZP-6-kWZLjhXW44JuQg44dWKRxrGPP1XUdcMLnc7jObYTE_2LyAnJVmtPH-8eZWiEEJAzLNFwaJy0cIgpEnQFBohkxv59MUWIOjLVzx/s320/Balm%20Grove%20before_aerial.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQVNWFHN6qYw8fUgFOjznvNUVcXLMBBQ-fi-vgkp7x6HzFwp4uIRXH5GwXvBxKwZFKvyELfIaptBs7tIIfZ6h_clnbcXKmDW090NXWnuZJsoLU3wnYM222nKUa5V4ci2N63i1OvfOWAV_z92rofOPUU5cGeJx23atb1KWq0rBHZRdrLooA2cWV9CLA/s500/Balm%20Grove%20after_aerial.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQVNWFHN6qYw8fUgFOjznvNUVcXLMBBQ-fi-vgkp7x6HzFwp4uIRXH5GwXvBxKwZFKvyELfIaptBs7tIIfZ6h_clnbcXKmDW090NXWnuZJsoLU3wnYM222nKUa5V4ci2N63i1OvfOWAV_z92rofOPUU5cGeJx23atb1KWq0rBHZRdrLooA2cWV9CLA/s320/Balm%20Grove%20after_aerial.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Scott continued with some future plans that we - your chapter - will continue to support:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Next summer we intend to remove another fish

East Lake is one of two caldera lakes near Paulina Peak out of La Pine. this lake offers a number of different opportunities to fish for a variety of different species - and all can be caught on the fly [if that is your gig]. Rainbows, browns, and kokanee are all available with the odd brook tossed in to keep things interesting. Fish for cruisers on the flats or ply the deeper rock ledges if you want - all while enjoying the high elevation desert lake!</span></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">

Most of his pursuit occurs in the Willamette and the Columbia systems and it is all sight fishing. Eric has customized his boats with a poling platform and guides them with push poles for fishing in 3 foot or less of water - just like chasing fish on the tropical flats! The PNW 'Golden bones' get big, well over 20 pounds and clients usually have quite a few shots throughout the day. It has become one of Eric's absolute favorite things to do in the summertime.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Eric Leininger has worked at Northwest Fly Fishing Outfitters in Portland, Oregon for the last eight years; he guided in Alaska for nine summers at Goodnews River Lodge before that and has been guiding in Oregon now for over 10 years. Eric is a G Loomis elite ambassador, a hatch outdoors pro ambassador, and a scientific angler‘s regional pro.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For an added bonus - ask him about Tiger muskies! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>WHAT TO BRING: </b></span>a
