June Membership Meeting with Jim Habera

Our upcoming June Membership meeting will include a special presentation by Jim Habera of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). Jim will share detailed results from the annual survey conducted on the Clinch River every March. This survey provides important insights into the river's fish populations.

The recent adjustments made to stocking schedules have led to noticeable improvements in both the numbers and size of Brown trout in the Clinch River. These positive changes suggest that the new strategies are effective in supporting and enhancing the Brown trout population.

Additionally, the natural reproduction of Rainbow trout continues at a sustainable rate, indicating that the river environment supports healthy growth and regeneration of this species.

This meeting is particularly important for anyone who fishes the Clinch River and wants to stay informed about its current conditions and fish populations. Whether you are a member of our chapter or not, all are welcome to attend. Make plans to join us for this valuable opportunity to learn directly from experts and gain up-to-date knowledge about the river.
