Stanley Cooper Chapter Trout Unlimited general meeting tonight featured as speaker, their very own Wild Trout Man, Dr. Joseph Simons and our President, whose topic was: « Wild Trout Man - the Art, Science, Adventure and Zen Experience of Fly Fishing for Wild Trout in Class A Blue Line Streams « It was a great presentation and his photography, fly tying, fly fishing, fish stories, videography, adventures across the US, and eye for the little things in nature is phenomenal. His passion for wild, native brook trout is evident. Any novice person interested in fly fishing should view his presentation. You should consider joining the Chapter! (fb)

The final Scientific Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) technical report, Nutrient Reductions as Co-Benefits of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Treatment: Quantifying Nutrient Load Reductions for Restored Stream Segments in AMD-Impacted Watersheds, is now published and available online. https://www.chesapeake.org/stac/document-library/nutrient-reductions-as-co-benefit-of-acid-mine-drainage-amd-treatment-quantifying-nutrient-load-reductions-for-restored-stream-segments-in-amd-impacted-watersheds/ It is a very interesting read. Michael Hewitt and Bobby Hughes put a lot of time and effort into this document and water quality data to validate our years of research, experience, and data collection that we have been finding nutrient loading in AMD that has not been accounted for many years.
