Volunteers Needed for Lynn Camp Prong Evaluation

Posted on June 6, 2012 by lrctu644
Volunteers are needed to assist the Park Service in an electro-shock evaluation of Lynn Camp Prong.  The work is scheduled for Monday, June 25 through Thursday, June 28, weather permitting.  I have suppressed the long distribution list for this message to make it easier for you to read.
This evaluation will measure the success of the stream treatment performed last year to remove rainbow trout.  It will also measure the population of brook trout for this important brook trout restoration project.  It is expected that the work will take all day for each day scheduled.  All the workers will have to hike up the trail to the sample sites and work in the stream as part of the electro-shock team.  So the work will be moderately strenuous.

If you want to help on any of these days, please let me know.
Thanks.

Information about times and what to bring.
1. Please remember all events are weather dependent, as we cannot shock in the rain!
2. Meet at parking area/trail-head at upper end of Tremont Road each day at 8:30am.
3. Please bring waders that go at least waist high, your own lunch, plenty of water and any other drinks you want. During shocking, you cannot be in the water without waders!
4. The work will involve assisting in an electro-shock survey to determine the brook trout population. The work will likely take all day.
5. Call Charlie Chmielewski as soon as possible on his cell phone (865-661-7325) if something comes up and you cannot come or are running late.

This year, Troutfest is proud to provide a unique experience for visitors with a special presentation by Jason Borger, author,  experienced angler, stand in and  fishing consultant for production of the movie,  A River Runs Through It.  This year marks a milestone in the film’s 20th anniversary of its release. The Saturday night event will include dinner,  Borger’s presentation and a free showing of the movie.   Buy your tickets ahead of time here on the website or at the Troutfest store. Also, tickets will be available at Little River Outfitters in Townsend through Friday, May 18th.  Tickets can be purchased at the door the night of the event.

You can read more about Jason’s role in the movie on his website Fish, Flies & Water  in his article A River Runs & Casting.  The movie at the time brought a whole new generation to fly fishing and was a boom to the fly fishing industry. The movie is based on a book by the same name written by Norman Maclean. If you get time to read the book it is well worth it. You can see the Movie trailer at the link below
