We are still working on the details, but rumour has it that SSBC is looking at a project on the Bonaparte (an important steelhead spawning tributary to the Thompson river). It will be a similar sort of deal as this years Spius creek rehabilitation project regarding habitat restoration.... and to that end we are looking at another pub night in November. Location will be somewhere in the Coquitlam/ Highway 1 corridor so that folks from the sunny side of the Fraser can attend....
There will be a live auction, silent auction, swag, etc etc, some kind of food special and just a great opportunity to socialize with a dedicated group of steelheaders. If you aren't a SSBC member, there will be membership forms available.
Once again we are asking concerned anglers to dig deep into their wallets and buck up. Its pretty painfully clear that federal and provincial governments could care less about our Thompson River steelhead resource so its up to grass roots initiatives like this, to mitigate the damage from habitat loss and brutally timed commercial salmon fisheries etc.
