Trout Unlimited
February 20, 2020 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
At the Thursday, February 20 meeting of Trout Unlimited, TU special projects manager Christine Brissette will present “What’s new at TU,” an overview of current and proposed BRTU projects. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at the Hamilton Elks Club, 203 State Street in Hamilton. The public is invited to attend and there is no charge for admission.
Bitterroot TU has been working to make our fishery – and fishing – better since its inception in the 1970’s. In 2017, BRTU’s on-the-ground restoration program got a boost with the hire of Christine Brissette, National TU’s Bitterroot Project Manager. In April 2018, Christine gave a program on a nascent set of fish screen projects and enormous progress has been made since then!
Come learn about the projects Christine has been working on in our streams, and hear what’s on the horizon for restoration in the Bitterroot. Christine will also talk about some of the impressive projects TU is leading statewide: Mine restoration in Ninemile Creek, dam removal in the Rattlesnake, irrigation efficiency/fish passage improvement on Clark Fork tributaries and more.
