GOALS

One of our goals is to deploy Temperature Data Sensors in the river along different points.
We already have landowner cooperation to implement the sensors.

Another is signage:  Enhance "Leave the river better than you found it" signage,
while we continue the ongoing communication, awareness raising, and education required to

3 Ps of Trout Power

Promote,
Protect, and foster
Prosperity in our region's communities, and for this river.

Derek has caught the power!  You can too...

All participants get free donuts and beverages after the race.  How sweet is that?

The cost is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students, but if you pre-register by May 31st, the discounted price is $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for students.
