BRTU presents Bad Boys and Bull Trout - Sordid Tales of Montana Men - Jan 20 in Hamilton

The January Bitterroot Trout Unlimited Meeting will be Thursday, January 20, 2011, 7:00 PM at the Hamilton Elks Lodge, 203 State St.

The speaker will be Wade Fredenberg, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Kalispell, MT

The title of Wade’s talk is: "Bad Boys and Bull Trout - Sordid Tales of Montana Men Who Fished For Bull Trout and the Dollies Who Loved Them."

The Bull Trout is one of Montana’s native trout. Native Americans once fished for enormous bull trout all up and down the Bitterroot, but big bruisers are rare now in the main stem of the river. Wade Fredenberg coordinates bull trout programs for the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He is going to give an incredibly interesting and entertaining historical account of these special fish and describe their prospects for the 21st century .

And, don’t forget! We will be having dinner with Wade at Spice of Life at 5:00 pm before the meeting. Long-time TU supporter Karen Suennen will have a special tapas menu for us and will be donating 10% of the proceeds to our club. So come on down, have a beer and a bite to eat and meet Wade.

The meeting and the dinner are open to the public and you need not be a TU member to attend.
