METOLIUS RIVER PROJECT - Author Unknown
On Tuesday, April 5, the Project Restore: Metolius Team members met at the Sisters Ranger District with Resource Forester Fred Gonzalez. Present were representatives of Trout Unlimited (Deschutes River Chapter), ODFW, USDA Sisters Ranger District, and the Metolius/Camp Sherman homeowners.
The committee had previously walked the Metolius in the area near Pioneer Ford at Bridge 99 to select habitat improvement work sites. Steve Galliano, Forest Landscape Architect, identified each site with sketches (see diagram in this issue) to record the plan for placement of woody materials in the river.
A total of 10 sites were identified and submitted to the District Ranger for review and approval. The Deschutes River Chapter has agreed to use the Project Restore: Metolius funds to cover all costs. The USDA and ODFW have agreed to provide the necessary supervision, line up heavy equipment contractors (TU will pay for equipment costs from FishAmerica Foundation grant money), and accomplish the necessary surveys on the river.

A few months ago I was given a copy of the Redside Revue, circa July 1987, as you can see the Deschutes River Chapter of TU was very active within the community. The Redside Revue brings to light the many projects they worked on. - submitted by Lou Duncan.

JOHN DAY RIVER PROJECT - Bob Barss
On June 13th a group of TU member's joined force's with volunteers from the Prineville office of the BLM for a conservation project in the John Day River. Like many of our rivers in Eastern Oregon, the John Day has been heavily impacted by overgrazing. The river banks are stripped of vegetation and the soil trampled, leaving the banks exposed to heavy flows during the spring run-off. The result is excessive erosion that cuts down the bank and carries the soil down-river to be deposited in eddies and pools, burying vegetation, gravel, and other fish and insect habitat.

 In my efforts to understand the notion of having over 400 members in our Chapter of Trout Unlimited, I thought it might be time to figure out what the history of our group has been, and how far back it goes. To date I haven't found more information online than I have discovered from talking to people in the community, but suffice it to say that there is a storied and controversial past.
From members and community members who have been here their entire lives, to recent developments of support from our National Trout Unlimited Staff, and reference points in newspapers and media for nearly 40 years - The Deschutes Chapter of Trout Unlimited is here to stay and seeks to expand on the fine traditions it has supported for this entire time.
