SUMMARY:Spokane River (Float Fishing)
DESCRIPTION:A true ‘urban fishery gem’\, the Spokane runs right through the heart of the city. Many anglers from the area travel great distances to the mountains of Idaho to fish and overlook this amazing river! While the primary quarry is the river’s beautiful Redband Rainbow Trout\, Brown and Cutthroat Trout are present as well. The average size fish is around 14”-18”\, fish over 18” are not uncommon\, and there’s always a possibility of a true trophy. The Spokane is mostly a floated river (wade access is limited)\, so you will likely be fishing out of a raft or drift boat. The primary hatch on this river is the caddis hatch\, but its bug life is diverse and varied. When conditions hold steady\, the fall fishing on the Spokane can be extremely good. The Spokane is in Washington and requires a WA state Fishing License.

SUMMARY:St. Joe River (Wade Fishing)
DESCRIPTION:Roughly an hour and a half drive from Spokane\, the St. Joe is a near-perfect Cutthroat stream. The “Joe” cascades through the Idaho Panhandle for over 80 miles offering anglers plenty of fishable water. Generally fish that range 12-16″ on average and plenty of cutthroat that will go bigger. By September the river has dropped significantly\, and the lies that trout feed in will become quite obvious. In the fall if weather conditions allow\, the Joe produces great hatches of western freestone fall favorites such as Mahogonies\, October Caddis\, and Baetis. If the weather stays mild\, the hopper-dropper/attractor fishing will remain spectacular. The St. Joe is in Idaho and requires an Idaho state Fishing License.

SUMMARY:North Fork of the Coeur D’Alene (Wade Fishing)
DESCRIPTION:The North Fork is very similar to the St. Joe in many regards. This is a Westslope cutthroat fishery with few peers. With prolific hatches\, low elevation and spectacular habitat the ‘North Fork’ grows the fish large and healthy. There’s always the chance of a pure ‘westie’ in the 20” class smashing a big foam bug here. Additionally\, the river corridor and surrounding area is about as picturesque as a westslope fishery can be\, and elk\, moose\, deer\, and the occasional bear can be seen on the banks of this spectacular river. The North Fork of the Couer D’Alene is in Idaho and requires an Idaho state Fishing License.

SUMMARY:Snake River Conservation Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Snake River Basin represents the coldest\, most undisturbed habitat in the Lower 48 for salmon and steelhead. The time is now for the Snake. Removing the four lower Snake River dams would return 140 miles of habitat to a free-flowing river and recover wild salmon and steelhead in the basin. \n  \nUnless we take bold action to change the current trajectory\, these fish will continue to decline – and eventually go extinct. \n  \nDuring your visit to Spokane for CX3\, join Trout Unlimited staff on a trip to Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River to learn about the impacts of the dams in-person. The trip will include a guided tour of the dam from the Army Corps of Engineers\, with stops at the fish ladder\, fish counting station\, smolt bypass system\, and the earthen portion of the dam. TU staff will provide insight into how each of these components impact returns of salmon and steelhead and dive into the details of dam removal. \n  \nBefore we return to Spokane\, we’ll also visit the McCoy Rail Terminal to learn about rail as a transportation alternative for shipping of grain throughout the region.  \n  \nTo learn more about the lower Snake before your tour\, visit https://www.tu.org/lowersnake/. \n  \nAdditional tour details: \nPlease wear long pants\, closed toe walking shoes/boots\, and shirts with sleeves. Tour participants will also be required to wear hard hats provided by the Army Corps for a portion of the tour.  \nUnfortunately\, the Army Corps is unable to host foreign nationals at Department of Defense facilities including Lower Granite Dam.

SUMMARY:A Coastal Cutthroat Trout Case Study in Native Trout Conservation with Kitty Griswold
DESCRIPTION:Native Trout populations are important ecologically\, socially\, and economically. The streams and rivers they occupy are important sources of clean water\, recreation\, and provide habitat for myriad animals. To thrive and fully express their life histories\, trout need connected habitats and cold\, clean water. In this workshop we will use Coastal Cutthroat Trout\, a native trout with a geographic range from Northern California to Southeast Alaska\, as a case study to explore these issues and\, when possible\, draw parallels with other Trout and Char subspecies in North America. We will explore the key role partnerships can play in these efforts. \nKitty Griswold is a Fisheries Scientist with a keen interest in conserving Native Trout and their habitats. She grew up in the Great Basin region of the Western United States and was fortunate enough to explore the streams and rivers that shape those arid landscapes. She attended Oregon State University for her MS and PhD degrees and learned about the richness of marine systems through the study of migratory trout and salmon. She is currently allied faculty at Idaho State University in Pocatello\, Idaho in the Biological Sciences Department. Aware of the increasing challenges that cold-water fish populations face\, her current work (and much of her personal time) focuses on creating opportunities for research and partnerships to help us better understand and address these challenges. \nThis session is brought to you by the NLC Native Trout Workgroup.

SUMMARY:The Healing Sport of Fly Fishing: Serving Children in Foster Care with The Mayfly Project
DESCRIPTION:Join this inspiring session with Kayla Lockhart and Kaitlin Barnhart as they cover all of the benefits of the sport of fly fishing for foster children\, discuss what the Mayfly Project does\, and talk about the bonuses of being a mentor to the next generation of anglers. This event is free and open to the public. \n  \n \nKayla Lockhart first discovered fly fishing to help cope with her depression and anxiety from a difficult upbringing. Today fly fishing has not only given her the tools to help heal on the water\, but has taken her to some exotic places in pursuit of some of the most exotic species of fish. In between these trips\, Kayla assists with conservation efforts\, advocating for a more inclusive space within the sport\, and organizations like TU\, the Native Fish Society and the Mayfly Project. Read the Fly Fisherman article to learn more about Kayla’s story. From Foster Care to Fly Fishing: Kayla Lockhart’s Journey to Find Peace. \n \nKaitlin Barnhart is the Co-Founder and National Program Director of The Mayfly Project\, and lives in Coeur’ d Alene\, Idaho. She has worked in the mental health field\, specifically with the foster care population\, and has been fly fishing\, for over 20 years. Beyond her work with TMP\, Kaitlin is a mother to three kids\, an outdoor writer\, and is known for hauling her family outdoors year-around.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Workgroup
DESCRIPTION:What effects will a changing climate have on the coldwater resources we all respect and enjoy? Climate change\, and the extent to which it is human-caused\, is a divisive issue; the Climate Change Workgroup respects that. Our goal is to develop an education and awareness program based upon the scientific background provided by TU staff and others. With adequate scientific understanding\, we all should be concerned about the impacts to our coldwater fishery resources. How much risk should we accept? Can we afford to risk the future of trout and salmon? \nThis session will feature a panel of experts\, including Helen Neville\, TU’s Senior Scientist; Lindsay Slater\, TU’s VP for Government Affairs; and Drew Eyerly\, Conservative Outreach Director for the Citizens Climate Lobby. \nThis session is open to all event attendees.

SUMMARY:Restoring Urban Watersheds and Fostering Tomorrow’s Conservationists
DESCRIPTION:In the most densely populated and diverse area of Washington\, TU is working to connect urban dwellers with nature\, inspire stewardship of our shared watersheds\, and improve habitat and water quality for native fish – in particular\, Lake Sammamish Kokanee Salmon. At the heart of King County\, the Lake Washington Basin is made up of Lake Washington\, Lake Sammamish\, Cedar River\, and Sammamish River. With Seattle just a few miles away and major population centers lining the lake shores and river fronts\, the basin faces the significant challenges AND opportunities associated with urban growth: a changing ecology\, diversifying population\, commercial and residential development\, increased recreation\, and the amplified effects of climate change. \nSpearheading TU’s restoration and science activities in the basin\, David Kyle is working to improve habitat\, restore connectivity\, and advance research on aquatic weeds\, predators\, and disease. Bringing together non-profit\, city\, county\, federal\, and community partners\, Alix Lee-Tigner is leading TU’s efforts to expand community engagement by stewarding the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP). The UWRP’s mission is to work together to connect diverse local communities in the Seattle Metro area to nature and inspire people to care for the lake Sammamish watershed. \nDuring this session\, David and Alix will share about their work building relationships among partners and community members\, highlight on the ground projects\, and how they are moving the dial on neglected and forgotten environmental causes that are critical to salmon recovery in the watershed. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind with Amy Gulick & Nelli Williams
DESCRIPTION:The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind\nCo-presenters: Amy Gulick & Nelli Williams \nIntrigued that there is still a place in the world where the lives of people and salmon are linked\, photographer and author Amy Gulick traveled throughout Alaska to explore the web of human relationships that revolve around these extraordinary fish. Commercial fishermen took her on as crew; Alaska Native families taught her the art of preserving fish and culture; and sport fishing guides showed her where to cast her line as well as her mind. Alaskans everywhere shared their salmon riches with her in their kitchens\, cabins\, and fish camps—it’s the salmon way. Gulick’s book\, The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind\, is the winner of an Independent Publisher Book Award\, a Nautilus Book Award\, an INDIES Book of the Year Award\, and has been named a Best Indie Book by Kirkus Reviews. \nGulick will share stories and images from her book\, together with the lessons we can all learn from Alaska’s salmon people. She’ll be joined by Nelli Williams\, the Alaska Director of Trout Unlimited\, who will discuss the conservation achievements and ongoing work to protect salmon habitat in the waters of Alaska\, including Bristol Bay\, the Tongass National Forest\, and the transboundary rivers of Alaska and British Columbia. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
