A GRASSROOTS VICTORY
FOR NATIVE FISH & CLEAN WATER

Free-flowing and mine

SOUTHWEST, OR | Just seven miles upstream from River Steward Dave Laceys home in southern Oregon a foreign-owned mining
company was quietly working to develop a nickel strip mine on public lands. The proposed mine would straddle two important free-
flowing streams, Hunter Creek and Pistol River, both of which support all wild runs of salmon, steelhead and coastal cutthroat trout.
Alarmed by the hard rock mining industry (the number one toxic polluter in the country) setting up shop in his homewaters, Dave
joined forces with the Native Fish Societys staff to stop the mines development before it irreversibly damaged some of the wildest
country, cleanest water, and healthiest wild salmon, steelhead, and trout rivers on the west coast.
To build grassroots support for protections, Dave canvassed his watershed going door to door with a petition against the mine. Later he was
helped by River Stewards James Smith and Sunny Bourdon who hosted events in their rural communities. Our River Stewards raised awareness
about the mines, built local business and brewery coalitions to weigh in during public comment opportunities, gained the support of local
city councils and their county commissioners, rallied over 500 of their neighbors to turn out to pivotal public hearings, and flooded the public
agencies and decision makers with over 64,000 supportive comments. Thanks to this support, in 2015 Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff
Merkley and Congressman Peter DeFazio introduced federal legislation in 2015 that laid the ground work for future protections.

Then in early January 2017, this grassroot effort secured it biggest victory yet -- a 20-year mineral withdrawal that protected
101,000 acres of public lands in southwest Oregon from future mining claims. These protections not only benefit these public
lands, it also protects the salmon-studded rivers found downstream including the Rogue, Smith, Illinois, Pistol and Hunter Creek.

Wild salmon, steelhead and trout need grassroots activism now more than ever! Visit nativefishsociety.org/membership

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD | JIM MYRON
In 2016, Native Fish Society
acknowledged Jim Myron, longtime
Crooked River Steward and
legislative advocate with our Lifetime
Achievement Award -- Native Fish
Societys highest honor. Jims skill
and reputation as a deft advocate for
science based policy played a key role
in advancing legislation that benefitted
native fish in Oregons homewaters.
RIVER STEWARD OF THE YEAR | DAVE LACEY
In 2016, Dave Lacey received our River
Steward of the Year award for his tireless
work to protect native fish, his homewaters
and his community from the threat of strip
mining. Through Daves local leadership he
not only helped secure protections from
strip mining, he created a local movement
that worked collaboratively with federal
agencies, local businesses and citizens to
protect public lands and native fish.

HONORING CALIFORNIAS NATIVE TROUT
SOUTH FORK SMITH, CA | Thanks to all our members and
supporters who sent comments to the Fish and Wildlife Commission,
help from our local Smith River Steward, Sunny Bourdon, and our
partners at the Smith River Alliance the California Fish and Wildlife
Department designated 64 miles of the upper South Fork Smith
River and its tributaries as Heritage Trout Waters in 2016!
The overwhelming support generated by our action alert comments
convinced the state of California to recognize the importance of
the South Fork Smiths native rainbow and coastal cutthroat trout
populations and covered that stretch of river with better protection
from future development and overharvest. Dawn patrol on
the South Fork
The Heritage Trout Waters Program was started in the 1970s to Smith River
increase the publics understanding of and appreciation for the
states unique fish populations. For more than 40 years, the program
has rallied support for the collaborative efforts necessary to maintain
a rivers beauty and protect its trout for future generations. Heritage
Trout Waters designation is reserved for the states most prized, self-
sustaining fisheries. With the addition of the South Fork Smith, the
first on Californias North Coast, there are now 12 across the state,
each of them testaments to remarkable wild, native trout populations.

The Smiths new Heritage Trout Waters designation is a special

distinction that honors an often overlooked value in this coastal
river, its magnificent native coastal cutthroat and resident rainbow
trout populations. Native resident
rainbow trout from
Native fish need local advocates! Contact Conrad Gowell

COASTAL CUTTHROAT CAMPAIGN SOUTH PUGET SOUND, WA | In 2016 Native Fish Societys
River Stewards and staff teamed up with biologists from the
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to take a closer look
at one of the most mysterious wild fish in the Pacific Northwest:
Coastal cutthroat trout.
The question our campaign is seeking to answer is a modest one:
how many sea-run cutthroat trout spawn in Skookum Creek? But
the implications for coastal cutthroat trout and fisheries managers
of this subspecies throughout their range is huge.

With the initial money awarded to the Native Fish Society

Searun Cutthroat Trout

Foundation, NFS purchased PIT (Passive Integral Transponder)
tags and an array and have been working with WDFW to tag
and track adult coastal cutthroat as they migrate in and out of
Puget Sound. Using antennas installed throughout the spawning
grounds, we can detect the presence of tagged fish, allowing for
an accurate count of cutthroat trout by size, time, gender and
age as they enter the creek.
By comparing fish counts to redd counts, our campaign will
achieve the holy grail of cutthroat research: the number of
fish per redd! With an estimate of fish per redd, biologists, fish
managers and volunteers can have science guide the management
of coastal cutthroat trout!
