Arctic Grayling Conservation – volunteer angling opportunity

[kemo99]

As part of our conservation project, we will be collecting fin clips from Arctic Grayling in the Upper Pembina watershed.  DNA will be extracted from the fin clips for analysis later in the summer.    Northern Lights chapter members will be primarily working in Rat Creek, although there are opportunities in Lovett River and other tributaries.

These waters are closed to recreational angling, so we must follow strict guidelines per our fisheries research license in addition to safety and covid protocols.  Anglers will be required to attend a short orientation session via Zoom meeting.

Angling will be done in the month of May.  If you are an experienced stream angler (spin fishing or fly fishing) and are a TUC member, please send an email to Grayling@nlft.org and indicate your availability.
