Thanks to all those who attended our chapter gathering at the Gnome Craft Pub and special thanks to Eagle Scout candidate Skyler Bahr and Wisconsin DNR researcher Matt Mitro for a couple of great presentations.  You can find pdf versions of Skyler's presentation on "Adopt a Drain" and Matt's presentation on "Beaver Impacts on Midwestern Trout Streams" below.  If you'd like to watch a video of Matt's presentation, you can find it on our YouTube channel here.  Don't forget to like and subscribe!

Welcome to November!  Tis the season of spawning trout and REDDS, gales and gusty winds, cooler temperatures, icing of lakes, bird migrations, and lots of leaves.  
We extend a thank you to our 37 Streamkeeper volunteers for their efforts during this past monitoring season!  We had a record total of 119 chemical water readings during the season on nine streams.  The streams were:  Belle, Brown, Eagle, Hay, Ike’s/ MOA, Little Cannon, South Branch Vermillion, South Branch Whitewater, and Trout Brook Creek.  We also conducted "Repeater" Macro invertebrate testing on some sites on the South Branch of the Whitewater River last spring.
Our stream water temperatures are cooling down, water levels are dropping, and spawning Redds are beginning to be seen.  During this time of year, I also enjoy watching the videos and pictures from the North Shore.  The waves are both beautiful, awe inspiring, and treacherous.
