This September, Reel Recovery will be hosting another Midwest retreat for men living with cancer in the Wisconsin Driftless Area. Tom Sather from the WI Clearwaters Chapter, and Bruce Maher and Scott Wagner from the WI Kiap-TU-Wish Chapter are teaming up to host a Reel Recovery Retreat for men living with cancer at the Oxbow Hotel, Eau Claire, WI from September 4-6, 2024.
Reel Recovery is a national non-profit organization that conducts fly-fishing retreats for men living with cancer. Reel Recovery's mission is to help men in the recovery process by sharing with them the healing powers of the sport of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment to explore their personal experiences with cancer, with others who share their stories. Retreats are offered at no cost to the participants and are led by professional facilitators and expert fly-fishing instructors.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! TIME FOR THE TCTU STREAM MONITORING SEASON TO BEGIN

Greetings from your TCTU Streamkeepers, and welcome to spring! The chemical monitoring season officially begins in April and concludes at the end of September.

According to Heather Wilson with the Izaak Walton League, "Spring is here! We all know that April showers bring May flowers. Unfortunately, they also bring nitrogen-rich runoff to streams and lakes."

Our monitoring efforts will be helpful in addressing this and other potential problems in our streams. Typically, we conduct a minimum of 10 observations per targeted stream with three of those after a major rain event of one inch or more. We also have many streamkeepers monitoring other streams in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and beyond on a more random basis.
