We came across another video with some nice shots of South Fork Boise fishing. Enjoy.
Salute to Chris Jones – 2011 Man o’ the Year
Chris Jones stands next to the Pierce Creek culvert.
Chris Jones worked tirelessly through 2011 on the Pierce Creek reconnection project and spent many hours of volunteer time coordinating the construction planning and execution through the fall of the year. For his efforts we recognize him as the person of the year for 2011. Thank you Chris.
Fall Fishing
Year 2011 wanes, let’s have a little retrospective video. Here’s a fall fishing video from troutlie.com.
We Need a Riparian Strategy
The South Fork Boise River below Anderson Ranch Reservoir is a regulated river. That means river flows are controlled as if with a spigot. Popular float boating flows in the summer are coupled with the steady, generous 300 cfs winter flows that benefit the wild trout fishery.
But a regulated river also affects the health of a river corridor and the riparian community. We have enjoyed fishing the river and it’s been pretty terrific that we may have been neglecting to notice the riparian conditions along the river.
Yes there have been some fencing and planting projects such as along Cow Creek and along the SFB on the north (river right) side downstream of the Cow Creek bridge.
