Duck Valley Restoration Work & Fish-Out this Weekend (May 16th & 17th)
Posted in Fish Outs on May 12, 2009 by flyfishidaho
May 16th & 17th are the dates for the club’s Duck Valley Fish-Out at Mountain View Reservoir. This year we are also partnering with the tribe and other local organizations to work on restoring some local grounds, etc. If you are looking to get out of town this weekend, here is your opportunity to contribute in one of the club’s conservation projects.
Now…if that doesn’t motivate you, this is also a Fish-Out. Although there is high water everywhere and turbid reservoirs, given recent reports it looks like Duck Valley is fishing VERY well.
