This Months Program: Idaho's 7 Species of Trout
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012
Presenter: Skooter Gardner: Professional Fishing Guide
The state of Idaho has the more public lands than any of the lower 48 states. Idaho’s public lands, especially the wilderness, have abundant wild lands and clean water. These pristine ecosystems provide healthy habitat for trout to live and thrive in. Skooter will share about the seven different species of trout (and a few of their sub species) who live in these incredible places. The International Game Fish Association gives recognition to anglers able catch all seven species and we can do it all within Idaho. No other state boasts that reputation. Scooter listed amongst twenty nine other individuals worldwide with the IGFA’s Royal Trout Slam recognition.
Skooter is a Sun Valley native and has traveled the world with his flyrod but still believes the Wood River Valley is “one of the best places on earth”. Skooter grew up exploring Idaho’s backcountry with his Parents, grandparents, and some of Sun Valley’s old guard of Guides. He Stared Guiding on Middle Fork of the Salmon river at age 18 and since has explored, fished and guided on some of the wildest fish filled waters of the world. Skooter works as a Flyfishing Guide for Silver Creek Outfitters.
Trout Unlimited's, mission is to protect, recconect, restore and sustain these cold water fisheries and habitat. Come discover and learn about the Trout who live in Idaho. This is certain to be educational and entertaining presentation, you are guaranteed to learn something new about the Trout who live in our local waters.
