Have you ever been standing out in the middle of your favorite stream tying on your lucky fly while trying to tuck your rod under your arm to keep from dropping it? Have you ever wondered why you have that odd little velcro tab up on your vest's left shoulder? It really dosen't hold flies for drying worth a darn....does it? And that bottle of floatant hanging from that loop at the bottom right of your vest seems to defeat the purpose of keeping things up high and dry on you, too. |

 This year's Brook Trout restoration was made possible by volunteers from several Tennessee TU Chapters. Cumberland, Appalachian, Hiwassee, Clinch, Little River, and Great Smokey Mountains chapters were represented. Additionally, Gary Berti from TU National, helped and seemed to be impressed with our project. Steve Fry and Greg Fairchild, with the help of John and others, made breakfast, which is always a treat. Once everyone ate, Jim Herrig laid out the plan, we split into four groups, and sampled three streams, Big Cove Branch, Sugar Cove Branch, and McNabb Creek. (See the report here ). Afterward, a few of us drove to the headwaters of McNabb to look at the acidic anakeesta rock and where lime sand is applied to try to counter its acidic damage. It was a great time and thanks to everyone that helped. |

Annual Brook Trout Restoration and Monitoring Results
For the Upper Tellico River Tributaries, August 26, 2006
Jim Herrig
Fisheries Biologist Cherokee National Forest
The Cherokee National Forest in cooperation with Trout Unlimited and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) have implemented a systematic approach for the brook trout restoration and monitoring in the Tellico River watershed. Since the early 1980’s these partners have recognized the need to protect the brook trout populations in the Tellico area from competing, non-native trout species. Annual electrofishing has been effective in isolating the brook trout from their competitors and in documenting the success of the program. Each year agency biologists and volunteers convene at the Tellico Ranger District where they organize into teams for electrofishing a portion of these streams. |

He'll demonstrate how to tie a pheasant tail and an ant pattern. Following Robert's demonstration, Jim Herrig from the National Forest Service will introduce electrofishing and discuss how we'll use the electroshockers at our annual Brook Trout survey on August 26th. He'll bring an electroshocker and discuss how they work. Chef Fry will cook hamburgers, so plan on eating with us. |
