The Santa Fe Watershed Association and Santa Fe 400th Anniversary, Inc. will join together to honor the Santa Fe River by partnering on the All River Cleanup. The clean-up partnership recognizes the historical significance of the Santa Fe River and will take place on Saturday, May 30th beginning at 10:00 A.M. The project is in conjunction with National River Cleanup, a series of community-based river cleanings happening throughout the country sponsored by American Rivers, a national non-profit conservation organization. Volunteers are invited to join the cleanup by showing up at Alto Park, located at 1043 Alto Street, any time between 10:00 am and noon. Volunteers will be given trash bags, gloves and assigned to various stretches of the River. The goal is to have enough volunteers so that the entire Santa Fe River, from the Santa Fe River Preserve to Highway 599 is cleaned. The May 30th All River Cleanup is being conducted in preparation for the River Festival and Fishing Derby which will take place the following Saturday, June 6th. Following the River Cleanup will be a Kids Fishing Clinic on Saturday, May 30th. The Santa Fe Watershed Association and the New Mexico Game and Fish Department will be sponsoring a Kid's Fishing Clinic at Alto Park, from 2-4pm. Kids of all ages, and their parents or adult companion will learn how to assemble fishing tackle, how to handle hooks, weights, bobbers, fishing line, rods and reels and will learn how to cast, how to adjust a fishing reel and how to undo a big tangle. Live trout food (water bugs!) will also be on display. Kids are encouraged to bring their own gear and learn how to use it. However there is no need to purchase fishing gear prior to the clinic. The Game and Fish Department will have extra equipment on hand. The clinic will also address the differences between cheap, inexpensive, good, and expensive gear. This will assist parents in learning what fits their budget and how to become an effective consumer when shopping for fishing gear. The Kid's Fishing Clinic is free of charge
The Third Annual Santa Fe River Festival and Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday June 6th. The Festival will be from 10:00 am-- 3:00 pm at De Vargas Park in downtown Santa Fe.

The City of Santa Fe and New Mexico Game and Fish will be stocking the river with rainbow trout. Children can try and catch one of the specially tagged trout to win a prize.

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. Participating in educating our youth during the school year is also another way to stay connected to our sport or craft during the off season, leaving summers wide open to you own fishing and time with family.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.

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. Participating in educating our youth during the school year is also another way to stay connected to our sport or craft during the off season, leaving summers wide open to you own fishing and time with family.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.

Fly Fishing News for the Week of April 6, 2009
Take the Clean Angling Pledge at www.CleanAngling.org
The new fishing license year starts April 1st! The new licenses are available now at the fly shop. Anglers in New Mexico spent an estimated $295,874,000 in 2006. More than $125 million was spent on trip-related expenses, and more than $50 million was spent on food and lodging. As you can see, fishing is an important part of New Mexico's econmomy. Consider that fishing is still an affordable form of recreation. Just about wherever you live, there is some fishing to be had within an hour's drive. And please take a kid fishing. It's free if they are 11 and under and $18 for ages 12 to 17.
Youth Fly Fishing Photo Contest!! We would like to see the future of fly fishing grow and what better way than to get our kids involved. So we would like you to email pictures of your child with their fish. Here are the rules: fish must be caught and landed by the child in the photo, fish must be caught with fly rod and artificial fly, child must be 12yrs or younger, and fish must be caught this year. Send you’re photo to hda@highdesertangler.com, and please limit your e-mail to one photo per day. You can enter daily if you like. So start shooting at every opportunity and pick your best ones! The HDA staff will be judging these photos. That being said, it’s not all about size, although it won’t hurt. Any species of fish counts. We want to see good times being had by the kids, good backdrops of where they were fishing, and massive fish catching grins!!! The grand prize will be a Ross Worldwide “Journey Series Youth Fly Rod,” either a blue rod for boys or a pink rod for girls. The contest starts now and the judging and results will be announced August 1st!! Get the kids out this summer and have a great time.
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.
