Join the Deschutes TU Chapter on April 17 on the wild and scenic section of the Crooked River near Prineville for our 2nd Annual Crooked River clean-up day. In conjunction with 2010 Crook County SOLV IT Cleanup Day we will spend a few hours on the river to help make it an enjoyable place to visit and fish.
After the cleanup the Crook County Parks and Recreation District have organized a BBQ and entertainment at the Prineville Pioneer Park. So, mark your calendars, notify your friends and plan on bringing the kids to a fun day of good solid work. This is a great way to give back and have a bit of fun. More details to follow.

A coalition of fishing guides, conservation organizations, fly shops and equipment manufacturers are asking ODFW to reduce or remove hatchery fish on the McKenzie River. While this campaign is focusing on 30-some miles of the McKenzie, it's also about telling the agency to stop harming healthy wild populations with hatchery fish across the state. Hatchery fish have a role, in urban accessible areas where people can take advantage of these resources, not on top of our limited healthy ecosystems that support native species.

Independent Scientists Find Obama Administration’s Salmon Plan Additions “Inadequate”
American Fisheries Society’s review reveals flaws with risky and insufficient salmon measures
Portland, Ore. – This week, the Western Division of the American Fisheries Society released a scientific review of the Obama Administration’s proposed additions to the federal salmon plan for the Columbia-Snake River Basin. The society’s assessment concludes that the addendum, issued by NOAA Fisheries last September and known as the Adaptive Management Implementation Plan or AMIP, is not aggressive, rigorous, or specific enough to help bolster imperiled runs of wild salmon and steelhead. The American Fisheries Society is the world’s largest and oldest organization of fisheries professionals; its 3,500-member Western Division covers the 13 western states and British Columbia, including the entire Columbia Basin.

Oregon TU members- First of all, before the session even started , I was involved in several meetings with the bill's sponsor, Senator Alan Bates, and Secretary of State Kate Brown, to come up with language for the bill that would best protect the rights of the public to access floatable rivers. This version , SB 1060-1 . came before the Senate Environment and Energy Committee, chaired by Senator Jackie Dingfelder. I testified in favor of this bill.

Draft Salmon Aquaculture Position Statement
Washington and Oregon Councils of Trout Unlimited
February 10, 2010
Trout Unlimited Mission Statement: Trout Unlimited is dedicated to conserving, protecting and restoring North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
Trout Unlimited Vision Statement: By the next generation, Trout Unlimited will ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters.
GENERAL POSITION: Given convincing evidence demonstrating the direct and indirect harm to wild salmonids caused by offshore salmon farm operations, as well as the perilous state of wild salmoninds in the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon and Washington Councils of Trout Unlimited oppose offshore salmon farm operations in Pacific waters that would harm native, wild salmonids including the quality of their habitat and ecosystem. This position applies to the production and rearing of both Pacific and Atlantic salmon species in Washington and Oregon waters.
