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.
Make sure you check out T-Motion Theater in the current issue of Catch Magazine. Steelhead 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.
Here are a couple of quick hits for you all (The Trout Underground style):
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:
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.”

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.
