2024 Annual Hayspur Adventure

By Education, Volunteer, volunteer opportunities

Everyone left with a smile….

Thanks to the intrepid friends and fellow volunteers from the Trout Unlimited Hemingway Chapter, as well as the staff of the Hayspur Fish Hatchery, 60 students from Alturas School helped us mark our 14th year of youth education in the Wood River Valley yesterday. Students spent the day learning about our Wood River Valley ecosystem, the IDFG hatchery program, macroinvertebrates, and, most importantly, the joy of landing fish! For some students, this may be their only time out on the water, while for others, it may complement a passion they share with their family. Either way, it is always a day that brings students together, pushes their comfort zones, and expands their knowledge of the outdoor resources our region offers. We look forward to fishing with students again next year and expanding their education from the classroom to the outdoors!

Fish On!

Fish Rescue Program

By Education, Regional and National, volunteer opportunities

Every year thousands of trout and other fish species inhabiting the Big Wood River migrate into irrigation diversions and canals never to return to the river. At the end of each irrigation season when the water flows are shut off, the fish become trapped and perish. We try to relocate as many as possible and in areas that our permit will allow with the help of volunteers and other NGO’s. This is a cornerstone initiative of TUH’s and one that we look forward to each year. 

In 2021 we rescued 23,00 fish, in 2022 we rescued 15,000 fish. 

If you want to know more about this program please go to our website http://hemingwaytu.org.

The Rescues often occur with little notification resulting in times and locations changing at the last minute.

If you would like to volunteer for this meaningful and fun program please email me a apilgram@cox.net with your email address and phone number. I will put you in a list that gets contacted when we do the rescues. I look forward to hearing from those of you who are interested.
