Sorry to report that we will continue holding our meetings on Zoom for the forseable future.  When the pandemic settles down we will return to a hybrid format where meetings are in person but will also be broadcast live on zoom.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sophia is our new Oregon Engagement manager and is working on member outreach for a number of policy areas.  ODFW has been working on updating the South Coast management plan.  While we thank ODFW for working on this important topic, there are areas of concern in the plan.  Sophia will review these concerns and other aspects of the plan.  

 

Sophia is the Oregon Engagement Manager for Trout Unlimited’s Angler Conservation Program, focusing on outreach, organizing, and communications work. Her work supports the Wild Steelhead Initiative in Oregon.

Zoom Meeting Tips:

You will arrive at the meeting waiting room and the moderator will admit you to the meeting.  

All participants will be muted until the Q and A session at the end of the meeting.  If you have a question, you can raise your hand in zoom and the moderator will un-mute you.  You can also type a question to everyone or to a specific person in the meeting from the chat box.  

See you there!

 

It's time for the annual Down the River Cleanup sponsored by We Love Clean Rivers, and the Clackamas River Basin Council.

CRTU hosted our first class offered to First Responders and Veterans this summer.  Our initial class was attended by Gladstone. Police and Fire and some veterans.  Students learned the basics of Fly Fishing, Casting, Reading the Water and some basic stream entemology.  TU seeks to engage our first responders and veterans by providing these opportunities to learn about fishing and protecing our local watershed resources.  

 

 

 

 

 

Many of our women members also frequent PDX WOF events and classes.  The group is actively working on introducing women to fly fishing and also support CRTU conservation projects.  

 

Austen Bates and Amber Toal have been selected as leaders for the organization.

 

 We'd like to acknowledge Kim Garner, Callie Prater-Freeman and Laura McGuill for all their work in organizing this important effort.
