October Fish-Out and Road Side Clean Up

Posted in Fish Outs, Special Events on November 3, 2010 by Greg Harris

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.

Steelhead Dreams – Catch Magazine

Posted in General on November 3, 2010 by Greg Harris

Make sure you check out T-Motion Theater in the current issue of Catch MagazineSteelhead Dreams is great story about steelhead fishing in northern BC that is beautifully shot by Todd Moen.  This is part one of a two part series and waiting until January 1, 2011 to see part two is going to be tough, but if part two is anything like part one it will be a great way to start the new year.

The video is a little over eleven minutes long so lock yourself in your tying room or the garage or the bathroom (if your wireless internet works in there) as to not be disturbed and enjoy this short film of steelhead bliss.

October Fish-Out & Road Clean-Up

Posted in Fish Outs, Special Events on October 13, 2010 by Greg Harris
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 PMDsPink Cahills, and Flavs throughout the day. Once it cools down a bit, look for increasing BWO numbers and a few more October Caddis.”

Bass Survey – Saturday, August 7

Posted in General on August 2, 2010 by Greg Harris

FFI has been asked to participate in a follow-up Bass survey of a local private pond this Saturday, August 7.  To beat the heat be will meet at 7:00am.  No lunch will be provided so if you will be fishing into the afternoon please be sure to bring your own lunch & lots of water.

This is a great chance to fish some private water that is very productive as the last survey we conducted on this pond over 75 bass were caught in the morning.

For more details please contact Don Sherron.
