OUTING!
WHEN: Saturday April 18, 2015
WHERE: Lost Lake [Clatsop County]
WHAT TIME: no clock here - mid morning around the boat ramp
WHAT to EXPECT: First day trip of the Season - Lost Lake is less than 30 feet deep and is divided into two parts by a small passage; it is a 15-acre natural forest lake nestled in the mountains. The lake has stocked rainbows as well as larger holdovers - the bonus? A few steelhead. The lake is best fished with a pontoon boat or float tube.

Directions:
drive west on highway 26 and turn off on the road to Henry Rierson Spruce Run Park on the Nehalem River. Just before entering the park, a gravel road (unsigned but known as the Lost Lake Road) takes off on the left. This road travels 5 or 6 miles to a parking area on your right. Just past the parking lot is an unimproved boat ramp. Andy hopes to be at the parking area by 10 a.m.!

CONSERVATION!
WHEN: Saturday, April 25, 2015
WHERE: Tigard, OR - Walnut Street at Johnson Street
WHAT TIME: 9:00 a.m
WHAT to EXPECT: TVTU will be helping the City of Tigard to build some fencing along Derry Dell Creek; this fence will help protect the newly planted riparian area that the city has reclaimed near the confluence of Derry Dell and Fanno Creeks [this is the area we helped plant last Spring!]
The work will consist of auguring post holes, setting posts, pouring concrete and assembling the split rail fence. Some of this work will be physically demanding - but there will be something for everyone.
WHAT to BRING: Be prepared for a pretty full day of
work - bring gloves, wear weather appropriate clothing and bring a lunch.
Tools and materials will be provided. Contact: Michael Ellis.WHERE: Tigard, OR - Walnut Street at Johnson Street

FOR FUN [and conservation]!
WHAT: Salmonberry River Redd Surveying
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHERE: on the Salmonberry - CONTACT BELOW for more info
WHEN: April 12 and 26 [additional dates of May 3, 10, & 24]
WHAT to EXPECT: In 1996, the Salmonberry was identified as the only river in Oregon with a healthy run of wild winter steelhead. And, despite massive damage from a 2007 storm that saw significant road failures and landslides, the river still produces some of the best runs of wild steelhead.
Volunteers from NW Steelheaders and Native Fish Society have been collecting steelhead spawning survey and temperature data from the Salmonberry River since 1993, complementing and expanding on ODFW's data that goes back to 1973. Without all the hours put in by dedicated volunteers, there would be a far less complete picture of abundance cycles, run timing, and fish distribution in the Salmonberry.

COST: just your time! This is NOT a TVTU function but our members have enjoyed participating in the past - contact Ian and tell him you're with TVTU and want to join the fun! If you would like to spend some fun and important time on the river, email Ian Fergusson.
