Timber Creek Riparian Project Promoted by Field & Stream Magazine
EYTU was awarded a partial grant of $5,000 for our revegetation project on Timber Creek, a
tributary of the Greybull River.
This spring members collected willow cuttings for transplant on the Timber Creek site to
revegetate. Meeteetse Adopt-A-Trout students and EYTU members along with members of the
public planted 2000 cuttings. Replanting on May 7 was sponsored in part by Toyota and Field &
Stream Magazine's Hero For a Day Program. Video below.

2011 Fish Rescue Report
Cody & Lakeview Canals both had a high percentage of 1 & 2 year old Brown Trout. Northfork
Ditch had a high percentage of 1 & 2 year old Rainbows and also more Whitefish than last year.
Garland Canal, always producing the largest fish, is about the same as other years with a mix of
species and age classes.
Willwood Canal count is down this year due to headgate shut down problems. This delayed our
rescue and the raccoons beat us to some of the fish. The weather turned cold and froze in a lot
of fish on the Cody & Lakeview Canals that we didn't have time to rescue.
Thanks to everyone that helped this year. Bob Capron
Note: Data obtained from rescuing fish is put to excellent use by our grant writers, and
dedication to this project over the years has resulted in many fish friendly/rancher friendly
headgates recently.
