Pierce Creek Reconnection Project
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.

There is more water behind Anderson Ranch Dam this year than at this time a year ago.
There is much more water behind Anderson Ranch Dam than in an average year. Usually in the winter the water should be draining from the reservoir but this year and last year the water coming into the pool has been enough to match the 300 cfs outflow.
