Topic:  This month we will hear from Natasha Bellis, Deschutes Land Trust’s Conservation Director. This is a testament to the wondrous nature of these fish, given how degraded Trout Creek is, along with lack of other spawning tributaries. (Historically, the Crooked River watershed was the primary spawning habitat for Deschutes steelhead.) The Trout Creek Partnership is working to improve this habitat by purchasing and restoring land and acquiring water rights.

Educational Topic:  "I’m a Beginner – What Should I Concentrate On to Improve My Flyfishing Success?”....by Tim Quinton.

Hope to see everyone there!
