Farmington Valley TU- Tributary Spawning Survey
Tributaries of the Farmington- November Trout Spawning Survey
The collection of wild trout spawning data creates a great opportunity to observe and help document the health of our fisheries. Join local conservation representatives from Farmington Valley Trout Unlimited, Connecticut DEEP, and FRAA as we hike along and survey strategic reaches of beautiful creeks and aim our focus on the small wild trout tributaries that tumble down the Farmington River Valley.
Dates: Thursday 11/16 & Friday 11/17
When: 10 AM Meetup & Assignment. (Volunteer hours from 10am - 3pm)
Where: Matthies Grove Pavillion @ People’s State Forest – 106 E. River Road Barkhamsted, CT 06063
Water, Coffee, and Snacks provided. Dress appropriately for cold temps and streamside hiking. Some streams are surrounded by somewhat rugged terrain so make sure you have appropriate footwear. In addition and although it may not be necessary, it would be wise to bring hip boots or waders. *Exact locations of streams to be assessed and reach maps will be shared with volunteers and organizers only.*
