Citizen Science is alive and well in the angling community. From our partnerships with Science on the Fly and Trout Unlimited we are thrilled to see more anglers getting involved in boots-on-the-ground work to help our fisheries. We are stoked to share of opportunities to get involved at the grassroots level. Learn about spawning surveys and how to get involved today.

On August 8th The Washington Council of Trout Unlimited is hosting a event to raise awareness on critical Pacific steelhead and salmon. Meet with volunteers, supporters, community members, and of course, the director of the project, J Michelle of @olympia_trout_unlimited and @olywomenonthefly!

These spawning surveys in White Salmon after the removal of the Condit Dam are crucial in determining how wild steelhead and coho are recovering their historic habitats and monitoring their success. We hope that you will join us on August 8th from 6 to 8 PM at @pfriembeer to celebrate and learn more about the project and what it takes to be a spawning surveyor!

Grab a drink and some tasty eats while getting to know the folks behind this amazing effort.

The Washington Council Trout Unlimited (WCTU) is Washington’s grassroots volunteer movement of the national non-profit organization Trout Unlimited, which is currently headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Trout Unlimited was founded on the banks of Au Sable River in Grayling, Michigan in July of 1959. A group of concerned Michigan anglers banded together to protect the health of native trout and their habitat, wanting to ensure fish would be plentiful for generations to come. Trout Unlimited today consists of more than 350 staff members across the US along with 300,000 members making up over 400 chapters nationwide.

The Washington Council is a volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that supports the conservation efforts of over 4,500 members in 10 regional chapters across the state, from all ages, backgrounds, and professions. We have many staff working across our state working on large-scale habitat and water projects to protect and restore wild salmon, steelhead and trout in their native ranges. Our staff members also lead our policy and advocacy efforts on a state and national level, helping unify the impacts of our efforts as both an organization and grassroots movement. Together, we work as ONE TU.
