From the Ted Trueblood Chapter of Trout Unlimited –

More than 130 people took part in the inaugural Ted Trueblood Chapter Fly Casting Tournament May 14 at Eagle Island State Park.

The event was a fundraiser for the Pierce Creek reconnection project on the South Fork Boise River and also served as a fund and friendly competition event for fly fishing enthusiasts across the Treasure Valley. KBOI TV sports reporter Troy Oppie came out to the event and his story was aired Saturday night seen in the video below.

I am pleased to announce that the Ted Trueblood Chapter was recently awarded a $107,000 grant from the Southwest Idaho Resource Advisory Committee to restore fish passage between Pierce Creek and the South Fork Boise River. We will remove a culvert that has been a fish blocker. Our final push to make this project happen is the May 14 Fly Casting Tournament. See below for more information where you can participate and help.
