October Fish-Out and Road Side Clean Up

Greg Harris — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 16:36:30 +0000

A big thank you goes out to Brian Sulgrove, Don Sulgrove, & Don Sherron for tackling the fall road side clean up for FFI. As an organization FFI has committed to two road side clean ups each year. While we had a fairly good size group help complete the spring clean up, only these three gentlemen attended the fall clean up.

Great work guys & thank you.

October Fish-Out & Road Clean-Up

Greg Harris — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:45:20 +0000

As a reminder this Saturday, October 16, FFI will be completing the second of our two road clean-ups this year as part of our Adopt-a-Highway project. We have adopted a two mile section of Highway 20 (mile marker 113 – 115).

If you would like to car pool or caravan to the location we will be departing from the TA Truck Stop/Boise Travel Center #167 at the Broadway Exit (exit #54) at precisely 8:30AM. Don Sherron has coordinated with the Highway Department and he will be bringing the trash bags & safety vests. If you can attend please bring the following:

Gloves
Duct Tape (to seal the bags closed)
Poker Stick (optional / the claw type pickers are available at Harbor Freight for about $4.00)

Many of those who attend will also be fishing the South Fork of the Boise after the clean-up, so please feel free to bring your fishing gear. Below is a fishing report from 10/12 courtesy of the Trout Lie:

“In other news, the South Fork of the Boise’s been a broken record – great hatches from mid-morning till dusk. However, getting the drop on fish has been a little tough with the July-type weather we’ve been having. The river’s producing a good number of PMDs, Pink Cahills, and Flavs throughout the day. Once it cools down a bit, look for increasing BWO numbers and a few more October Caddis.”
