On Saturday June 16th, 2012 starting about 9 am – The Little Elkhart River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (LECTU) in conjunction with the SJRVFF is planning a fish habitat restoration project on the Little Elkhart River at CR. 43 just southeast of Middlebury in Elkhart County.

The project will involve cutting, moving, cabling and placing trees in-stream and installing 1/2 log habitat structures through out the stream to provide habitat and holding structure for trout.

Everyone is welcome.  You may want to bring a pair of gloves and old tennis shoes and long pants for wet wadding.  The club will provide waders but the river is shallow enough to wet wade with a sturdy pair of shoes.

Even if you can’t swing a sledge or get wet please plan on attending there will be a lot to learn, friends to see, and other flyfishers to meet.

The project should wrap up about noon.

Beverages and lunch will be provided.

See ya all there.
