Anticipate netting at Garland Canal on Sunday.

The East Yellowstone Chapter of Trout Unlimited is gearing up for the annual fish rescue from local irrigation canals. With canals shutting down around October 15, volunteers are needed to help with netting and transferring the fish in buckets to an aeration tank. At the end of each day, the trout are released into their home river.

The task can be arduous climbing in and out of the ditches and carrying heavy buckets. Waders are recommended but not required as some volunteers can remain on the bank. The work typically begins at 8:00 in the morning and is usually completed by 4 PM. Morning snacks and lunch are provided to volunteers.

Volunteers meet at Rocky Mountain Sports prior to heading to the canals at 8 AM. Will Leave by 8:30AM.

'We could not complete this annual fall ritual without the help of volunteers" stated chapter President Larry Timchak.

Fish will be rescued from the Cody, Garland and Willwood canals with an estimated start date of October 18. Dates and times may vary depending upon actual conditions. Last year nearly 2,000 trout and whitefish were rescued and returned to the river.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Ted Richmond at 913-485-8556 or Dave Sweet at 307-899-9959.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a signed parental release.

Approximately 100 cans of bear spray will be given away on a first come, first served basis at each location. 

Participants will receive a free can of bear spray after practicing with inert bear spray on “robo bear”, a remote-controlled mock charging bear that simulates a sudden encounter situation. Game and Fish and Forest Service biologists will also be available to discuss bear ecology and conservation, and promote 'Bear Wise' proactive behavior to reduce conflict potential. 

 “These partnership events provide a great opportunity for people to practice and become more proficient with bear spray and to promote safety as many folks prepare for the fall hunting season,” said Bear Wise Wyoming Coordinator Mark Aughton. “We hope this effort continues to raise awareness and remind those recreating in bear country to be prepared.” 

For more information, please contact Mark Aughton or Luke Ellsbury at 307-527-7125.
