Plaquemines FlyGuides was created to generate relief income in the wake of the recent oil spill in the Gulf for flyfishing guides and their families, who work year-round, full-time out of Lower Plaquemines Parish. “We’re still out on the water as many days as possible but due to the recent oil spill in the Gulf, charter bookings simply aren’t coming in.” T-shirts, with proceeds earmarked for the cause, are available now, with more items coming soon. Donations can also be made online.

Teton_DamTeton Dam—Try it Again?
IDAHO—Thirty-four years ago, eastern Idaho changed forever. The eight-month-old Teton Dam, on the Teton River near Rexburg, failed—drowning 11 people and 18,000 head of livestock and causing $2 billion in damage. The state of Idaho and BuRec are now investigating ways to boost state water supply. That includes, perhaps, a new Teton Dam. “The environmental group American Rivers said this week that rebuilding Teton Dam would waste money, be unsafe and irresponsible because other, more reliable water supply options exist.”

teton2Or Try This Instead…
A petition calling for a stretch of the Teton River to be designated flyfishing only is circulating in the Valley. The idea is that the designation would stimulate the local economy, at least according to Rob Merrill, who is behind the initiative. He says bait fishing and spin casting just aren’t as lucrative, economically, and they cause harm to the fishery.
