✌️Another summer field season is in the books for our Upper Peninsula fish team! We’re so proud of all that they accomplished so far, from conducting electrofishing surveys at over 40 sites to inventorying dozens of road stream crossings and planting trees across UP watersheds. But our work isn’t done for the year - we’ll be working through the fall to monitor coaster brook trout populations 🐟

This summer, members of the Plaster Creek Stewards Green Team joined us in the field to observe a fish survey with our field crew. They got an up-close look at some coldwater fish and learned all about trout and the rivers and streams that sustain them. The high school students also got a chance to learn about our field technicians and their backgrounds, getting exposed to the diverse educational opportunities and career paths for individuals interested in natural resources.

We always love the chance to talk trout and get our next generation excited about coldwater conservation. Thanks to PCS for joining us for a day in the stream!

Thanks to TU's Chad Kotke for offering this great experience for his local chapter Trout Unlimited-Lansing 🎣

Invasive carp are closer to the Great Lakes than ever before, but construction on a critical barrier to stop them was recently halted. We need construction back on track and urge the US Army Corps of Engineers, HQ to restart work at the Brandon Road Interbasin Project before it’s too late.

✅Another road-stream crossing improved in the Bois Brule watershed!

➡️Swipe to see this culvert go from zero 👌 to hero 🦸

🚧This summer, we partnered with the Town of Brule to replace this undersized and perched culvert that was blocking fish passage from the iconic Bois Brule River into the Little Bois Brule River and Sandy Run Creek tributaries

🐟The new right-sized culvert was designed to simulate a real stream, maintaining habitat continuity for aquatic organisms that move upstream

⛈️The project also promotes flood resilience, keeping local communities safer during extreme weather events

4️⃣This is our 4th infrastructure upgrade in the Bois Brule watershed and we’ve got more projects lined up!

🌱Wondering where’s the veg? Native plants have been installed in the disturbed areas and this site will be revegetated soon

🤝This project was made possible by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Community-based Restoration Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Town of Brule

Thanks to everyone who joined us on the Muskegon River last week for a fun evening of snorkeling, fly fishing, streamside camaraderie, and more! We love getting out on the water to enjoy the best of Michigan’s summer with you.

Shout out to our friends and partners at Muskegon River Watershed Assembly, Schrems West Michigan Trout Unlimited, Newaygo County Environmental Coalition and to our volunteers Paige, Dane, and Casey for making this event possible!

🙌🎉Over $15,000 raised for Coaster brook trout thanks to J.A.Henry Rod & Reel Company and customers!

To every customer who has purchased a Coaster Migratory Fly Rod, made a direct donation, supported one of JA Henry’s fundraising projects, or simply shared the story—thank you for joining us on our mission to understand and recover these iconic and rare fish.

And to Andrew Mitchell and the JA Henry team who are using their business to drive conservation, build community, and care for the resource more than their bottom line - we are so grateful for your generosity.

Your support is putting boots on the ground, biologists in the field, and conservation into action.
