April Club Meeting
The South Sound Fly Fishers have been club sponsors of Washington Trout
for many years, but many of you are probably unaware of the myriad of past
and present projects that this non-profit organization has consummated
during their tenure as a wild salmonid advocates. I'd like to list all of
the projects, but the list is too vast- check out their website for more
specific information. www.washingtontrout.org Our April program features
Ramon Vanden Brulle, Communications Director at WA Trout. Ramon will
inform us on one of their most popular conservation programs, "Habitat
Lost and Found". Simply put, this program is essential for protecting
small fish bearing streams, because most county and local governments rely
on old, State water typing maps that often inaccurately demarcate fish
bearing stream reaches. As we sadly see in the South Sound area, many
small streams are facing impending development and the wider riparian
buffer prescriptions provided to fish bearing streams are sometimes not
even considered because no one cared or has the time to look for fish!
Many of you have probably seen or heard Ramon's name before, he currently
has a conservation article in the spring edition of NW Fly Fishing, and he
was a regular writer for NW Fishing Holes. Please come and learn more
about WA Trout and their outstanding Habitat Lost and Found program. Maybe
you know of a stream that needs surveying!
