These signs are showing their age.  Protecting the wild trout fishery in the Boise River requires getting information to the public.  Some updates signs may be in order.

Dispatch from Alta Harris Creek:  Skeets and a Skunk Saturday evening looked like an appropriate time for a walk along Alta Harris Creek and about 2 cfs was flowing in the stream.  Photo above shows the habitat pool at the downstream end of the channel.  Vegetation along the banks has fully grown in. The inspection was also remarkable for the amount of mosquitoes present.  But it was not the skeets that ended the walk, it was the skunk.  Mr. skunk was walking along the section of Alta Creek that was constructed and planted last December.

Mussels and the New Boat Sticker

Spread the Word! You have likely heard that Idaho has launched a new boat sticker program to fund the prevention of quagga and zebra mussels and other invasive species . While no one likes to pay a new fee, this one is here to stay. It always helps to know why the money is needed and what it is going to be spent on. So we have invited staff with the Idaho Department of Agriculture and Parks & Recreation and Representative Eric Anderson, the sponsor of the legislation, to talk with us about what quagga and zebra mussels are and how the money will be used. This is a also a great opportunity to share your feedback and suggestions to the folks in the state who are charged with running the program.

Who: The Idaho Conservation League, The Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited, Idaho River’s United

What: Educational forum on “Mussels and the New Boat Sticker”

When: June 25th, Thursday from 6-8pm Where: Banner Bank Building, 950 W Bannock St., Boise
