Print

E-mail

Friday, 02 October 2009
The 20th annual Tellico Brook Trout monitoring project will held Saturday, October 17 at 9:00am at the Spivey Cove Campground. Breakfast will be served by TU beginning at 8:00am. The Spivey Cove Campground will be reserved for Friday night through Saturday afternoon at no charge for partners participating in this program. We will be electrofishing in Rough Ridge Creek, McNabb Creek, and Big Cove Branch. I expect to have the surveys completed by 3:00. Fall colors should add to enjoyment of this historic partnership project. To get to Spivey Cove Campground from Tellico Plains (from the junction with Hwy 360) travel east on Hwy 165 (Cherohala Skyway) for 4.3 miles. Turn right onto Forest Service Road 210 which goes toward Bald River Falls and stays close to the Tellico River. Follow FSR210 for about 12 miles; turn left into the Spivey Cove Campground.

TU Fish Sampling Update

E-mail

Wednesday, 26 August 2009
This is an update and a reminder about this weekend's fish sampling. Due to logistical issues, we won't be moving brookies from Sycamore Creek to Roaring Branch. We will electrofish McNabb, Rough Ridge, and Big Cove. After the sampling, Don Denny will do an insect sampling, looking at what kinds of bugs are in the stream and evaluating the water quality based on those bugs. In addition to sampling these streams for fish and bugs, Jim Herrig will bring wetsuits, masks, and snorkels and we'll look at the habitat from a fish's perspective Saturday afternoon in the North River. If you want to see where the trout really hang, bring a swim suit, towel, and wading shoes.
