Event Goals:
Proceeds from the inaugural Big Wood River Single Fly will help fund TU’s
Big Wood River Home Rivers Initiative, and will be put to use “on the ground;” protecting,
re‐connecting, restoring, and sustaining the Big Wood River and its wild trout fishery. Specifically,
proceeds will be used to 1) enhance and improve habitat along the mainstem Big Wood
River and tributaries, 2) enhance streamflows, 3) restore disconnected tributaries and habitats,
4) work collaboratively with state and federal resource agencies to assess watershed conditions,
and 5) engage in youth education in regards to resource stewardship.
