The Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited has started a youth education program. The program has several education projects in the works. They include Trout in the Classroom, summer camps, fly casting, fly fishing clinics, and field trips. Trout in the Classroom enables schoolchildren to raise trout in their classrooms, learn about the trouts lifecyle and ecosystems, to be later release into the wild. Lets face it; we've all seen and have complained about the litter problem on many of our local streams. This is a start in changing the hearts and minds of the people who matter most; the future stewards and community members of our local fishing resources. Nothing happens until you get involved. Please consider volunteering in the Truchas Chapter Youth Education Program. To get involved, contact John Wright at twe@grappawireless.com.
Please save the date for the Truchas Chapter of Trout Unlimited's annual banquet. It will be Saturday, March 21, 2009 at the Inn at Loretto. We were given the incorrect date of March 7th initially, so please note the correct date is Saturday, March 21st. The featured speaker is Dave Whitlock,so it promises to be one of the best banquets to date. We'll have more info on the banquet as we get closer.
The Department of Game and Fish is urging anglers and others to prevent the spread of an invasive species of algae that could present many problems for the Pecos River and other state waters. Commonly called "didymo," the single-celled algae's large, ugly growths on stream gravels have earned it the descriptive name, "rock snot." It is an aquatic nuisance species known to be transferred around the world on boats, fishing equipment and footwear. This is the second aquatic invasive species known to exist in the Pecos River. Whirling disease, also is known to "hitchhike" on unwashed fishing tackle and waders. To help prevent the spread of didymo and whirling disease, anglers and others are urged to check, clean, and dry any equipment that has been in contact with water. Please see the following websites on how to properly clean your gear and how to protect our local waters. www.proectyourwaters.net, www.anstaskforce.org, www.cleanangling.org, www.stopans.org or for more information contact Brian Lang at New Mexico Game and Fish at, (505) 476-8108 or brian.lang@state.nm.us.

The Department of Game and Fish is urging anglers and others who visit the Pecos River Canyon to take measures to prevent the spread of an invasive species of algae that could present many problems for the Pecos River and other state waters. The New Mexico Environment Department confirmed a bloom of Didymosphenia geminata in the Pecos River near Cowles in August. Commonly called "didymo," the single-celled algae's large, ugly growths on stream gravels have earned it the descriptive name, "rock snot." It is an aquatic nuisance species known to be transferred around the world on boats, fishing equipment and footwear. This is the second aquatic invasive species known to exist in the Pecos River. Whirling disease, a protozoan parasite that attacks the spinal columns of trout, is found in the Pecos River. Whirling disease also is known to "hitchhike" on unwashed fishing tackle and waders. To help prevent the spread of didymo and whirling disease, anglers and others are urged to check, clean, and dry any equipment that has been in contact with water.
