Did you miss it?

You know....the Fall River Outing? Passing along a few rumors from Andy who says that although he has been fishing the Fall for over thirty-years [yes that is 3-0 years], he has never seen rain to the extent experienced during the TVTU outing this year! Heavy rain storms often come and go in a few hours this time of year he said but never the ENTIRE trip. You may recall this outing was during the September 27th weekend with the record rainfall and flooding in the Portland area.....

Rested from the Metolius / State Project?

Come out and help - Saturday, November 2!

Nestucca River Passage Project Complete

By Alan Moore

The Farmer Creek fish passage project on the Nestucca is about done. It took about 3 years to piece together the funding, design, permitting, right-of-ways and all that fun stuff. Paving was done October 4. This is a 70-foot span concrete bridge (that’s a biggun, as these things go) rated to handle loaded trucks replacing a severely undersized, completely rusted out and collapsed fish-barrier culvert on Farmer Creek, a major Nestucca spawning and rearing tributary for chinook, steelhead, coho, cutthroat and lamprey.
