From the desk of Bruce Treichler

SSCS Vice President

What an exciting time this past year has been between forming our organization to the various projects we have undertaken. We have committed ourselves to the task of demonstrating that it is possible to be an organization “dedicated to a science-based, ecosystem protection and management approach that integrates the human component on a landscape scale.” There are times this has proven to be a significant challenge; after all, we have been accused of masquerading as a “trout fisherman.” After that, on several occasions, I have introduced myself as, in fact, being a trout fisherman, much to the amusement of some.

Initially, we focused on the activities of the Chehalis River Basin Flood Authority, by attending meetings, raising issues, asking questions, and proposing courses of action through resolutions that focused on restoring natural processes and using best available science as a guide to flood risk management. We made presentations to several cities and two counties. We have also attended more public meetings than I want to count. The

positive side of attending all of these meetings is that a number of personal relationships have developed with folks who live in the basin and desperately want something done to protect their families, homes, and businesses.

Over time, we have endorsed the efforts of other organizations, and, now, are moving forward actively on the issue of fish pens in the Puget Sound and adjacent waterways. This will require a strong effort on our part because of the contentious and, sometimes, combative nature of this issue.

One important aspect of our organization is that we want local partners. This means that over time, we will have opportunities to collaborate with local organizations such as the Chehalis River Basin Land Trust. We will want to pursue opportunities with organizations that may not seem to be natural partners for us. I think of the organizations that work on trail maintenance, creating public access to our rivers, streams, and lakes and working to protect public lands. There may be opportunities, as well, with organizations who have agendas with which we are not in full agreement, but whose specific efforts we can endorse.

Whatever we do, it will require a commitment to excellence, establishing personal relationships, and dedication.

Alexandra Morton accepts SSCS International Fisheries

Biologist Advisor Position

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society is fortunate to have Alexandra Morton, an accomplished fisheries bilologist, as one of our key science advisors.

Ms. Morton is a certified fisheries biologist who truly understands and respects Pacific salmonids and those who rely on these magnificent fish for their ocean derived nutrients.

Alexandra is one of a growing number of fisheries advocates and conservationists work diligently to remove Atlantic salmon feedlots, especially those owned by Norway, from the highly productive British Columbia marine waters

Next month‟s issue of the Leader will focus on the costs in dollars and lost natural resources associatedB with these Norwegian-owned salmon feedlots that have become a global health concern.

SSCS Letter to Congresswoman Jaime

Herrera Beutler

Date: March 26, 2011

The Honorable Jaime Herrera Beutler, Representative

Dear Representative Herrera Beutler:

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society, a regional not-for-profit corporation, is the only organization dedicated to a science-based, ecosystem protection and management approach that integrates the human component on a landscape scale.

As such, we applaud you for taking your time to address your Third Congressional District constituents‟ concerns and questions during Thursday evening‟s conference call.

Of particular interest to us as are your positions regarding the following;

1. Wise stewardship of federal taxpayer money.

We agree with you that using our tax dollars in a prudent

manner is essential. This is correct regardless of the state of the economy

2. Commitment to improve local and US economy while protecting the rural outdoors related lifestyle of your constituents.

We respectfully encourage you to continue to value the economic, ecological, social and cultural values of SW Washington‟s publicly owned natural resources, in particular, when you consider potential federally funded projects within the Third Congressional District

3. Water retention projects to reduce flood related damage in the Chehalis River basin

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society strongly differs with you regarding your commitment to pursuing a multi-purpose earthen hydropower dam or an earthen storm water retention dam in the productive headwaters of the Chehalis River near Pe Ell. Construction of these proposed facilities is ill advised on many fronts, specifically:

o The cost to taxpayers will likely be more than a $1 billion because of the length of time it would take to get to a point where construction;

o Because of strong possibility that this facility will further harm Endangered Species Act listed fish and wildlife while putting nearby communities in harm‟s way, it will need to be permitted via USFWS, FERC (if it includes a

hydro component), NEPA among others

o The permitting and construction of this project would take two decades and will likely be delayed in courts for many more years because of litigation.

o Proponents estimate the proposed dam would capture less than five percent of the Chehalis River basin‟s rainwater in the event of a 100-year storm. Moreover, even if this proposed dam is constructed, it will not serve its primary purpose: to keep Interstate 5 open. It would be under 8 feet of water before the 3.8 maximum feet of storage at the headwaters would have an effect. At that, it is only in the event that a storm hits that subbasin and not the many others in the Chehalis River basin including the Newaukum and Skookumchuck River basins surrounding the cities of Centralia and Chehalis.

o Downstream the Black, Satsop, Wynoochee, and Hoquiam River basins flood due to poor logging and road building practices.

Given the above, it is critical to consider viable alternative strategies to manage flood risks basinwide; alternatives that will cost less, can be implemented almost immediately and will employ many local citizens in order to protect human lives, safety, health and property.

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society looks forward to your leadership on this extremely complex and challenging matter. We also look forward to visiting with you

District Representative

SSCS letter to Senator Murray

Senator Patty Murray (Washington State)

Date: March 10, 2011

The Honorable Patty Murray Senator Dear Senator Murray:

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society, a regional not-for-profit corporation, is the only organization dedicated to a science-based, ecosystem protection and management approach that integrates the human component on a landscape scale.

As such, we applaud you for your recent position regarding genetically modified Atlantic salmon for human consumption.

As you correctly identified, the wild (free swimming)

populations of Pacific Salmon and steelhead trout in Washington State waters, and the significant industry that relies

on them, would be in serious jeopardy if the genetically modified Atlantic salmon are allowed to be raised and marketed in the Pacific Northwest.

Like you, Representative Don Young of Alaska says that Congress cannot allow “these alien fish to infect our stocks”.

Similarly, Senator Mark Begich of Alaska asked “Want more salmon? Here‟s a better idea. Protect its natural habitat, maintain water quality and manage wild stocks for sustainability.

Your assessment that the salmon industry is “extremely

important to the Northwest, both from an economic standpoint and from a cultural standpoint” is right on target. In addition Washington State salmon and steelhead are important from an ecological standpoint (Orca

whales, bald eagles, etc) and from a social standpoint.

It‟s heartwarming to learn that Senator Maria Cantwell,

Representative Norm Dicks and Representative

Jim McDermott also are fighting to maintain the integrity of Pacific salmon and steelhead trout in the Pacific Northwest.

Given your understanding of the values associated with healthy Pacific salmon and steelhead trout populations throughout the Pacific Northwest, the Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society respectfully requests

that you investigate the two issues below which are negatively impacting Pacific Northwest Pacific salmon and steelhead trout:

Atlantic salmon feedlots located in British Columbia marine waters and around the world. There are many health and environmental issues of significant concern regarding these Atlantic salmon which are provided by Norway, as well as the feedlot practices that are proving to be harmful to other marine life and to humans who eat them.

A twenty two minute, informational video regarding these salmon feedlot practices is available for your viewing at http://www.thecanadian.tv/farmed_salmon_exposed.html .

Chehalis River basin flood risk mitigation. For more than seventy years, tax-payer funded studies have been conducted to better understand issues associated with re-occurring catastrophic flood-related damage throughout the Chehalis River basin, especially in Lewis County.

A proposed “basinwide solution” to “control” Chehalis River floods is to construct an earthen dam in the headwaters of the Chehalis River (near Pe Ell). This dam, if it is ever constructed, would devastate significant spawning and rearing habitat for natural spawning Pacific salmon and steelhead trout as well as for other resident and anadromous fish in the Chehalis River. Some of these fish are listed as either

Threatened or Endangered via America‟s Endangered Species Act.

This proposed Chehalis River dam is extremely controversial for many varied reasons.

Recent actions by the Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society regarding Atlantic Salmon Feedlots and Chehalis River Basin Flood Risk Management:

The Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society formally endorsed efforts in British Columbia to significantly reform salmon feedlot practices including their removal from the marine habitat shared by Washington‟s Pacific salmon and steelhead trout.

Additionally, the Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society opposes construction of the proposed dam in the headwaters of the Chehalis River; Washington‟s second largest river basin.

As you‟re fully aware, there are ongoing taxpayer funded efforts to develop basinwide flood damage prevention strategies. At this point, the Congressionally-authorized Twin Cities Project as well as the proposed, federally funded Chehalis River dam should never be constructed as they‟ve been deemed by many to be ineffective when it comes to keeping Interstate 5 open and to providing a basinwide solution to reoccurring Chehalis River basin flood damage.

After considerable time spent to better understand the issues associated with seasonal Chehalis River basin flood risk management and the proposed engineered projects which will be costly and are likely to be ineffective, the Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society submitted NWSSCS Resolution 51018 to protect and restore natural processes in the Chehalis River basin forestlands, floodplains and wetlands.

This viable, basinwide alternative to engineered solutions has yet to be given adequate consideration and the exploration it deserves

In closing, the Steelhead and Salmon Conservation Society would appreciate the opportunity to maintain an open dialogue with your staff in order to resolve the intractable problems related to Chehalis River basin land use practices; such as floodplain development and steep slope clear cut logging.

The taxpayer-funded studies mentioned above have yet to result in any semblance of Chehalis River basin flood risk management.

The causes of the catastrophic flood related damage throughout the Chehalis River basin, floodplain development and steep slope clear cut logging, continue at an increased rate; thus exacerbating the catastrophic damage associated with Chehalis River storms. Your leadership, with others from the Washington delegation

is urgently needed in order to develop effective, basinwide solutions which are supported by Chehalis River basin communities.

Thank you for your ongoing leadership to protect and restore Washington‟s valuable Pacific salmon and steelhead trout while at the same time being a prudent steward of available funds, Senator Murray.

Sincerely,

Ric Abbett President and CEO

Bruce Treichler Vice president

James Wilcox Secretary and Treasurer

Every once in a while opportunities come along in life where we can choose which 'Y' in the road we'd like to

follow, and follow it with a passion. For myself... fly fishing, and all that goes with it, was one of those opportunities in 1980.

From the first moment I was 'smitten', fly fishing forever changed my life. It continues to present newer and greater opportunities; at times, I feel somebody should pinch me. Am I dreaming?

A close friend of some 34+ years once said to me many, many years back... "Follow your dreams. One day you will 'wake up' and know how to live your dreams." Back then I didn't comprehend the real truth behind the wisdom of my friend's sage advice, but now I know... with the right mindset, your dreams can become reality, day-to-day, and not just remain some 'idea' inside your head!

Equally fortunate, I have many dear to my heart to share my fly fishing passion with... friends, clients, business associates plus casual acquaintances; and then there's Kevin, my son. If there was anyone who could take me and my passion to the next level, it was him.

It was with some regrets in January 2006 I took the Flyfishers' Arte & Publishing web site offline until I had the

time to grow and maintain this enterprise, thus the site.

It would appear that opportunity is knocking - again - as the issues that were around in the late 80s and early 90s when I was 'in service' to BC's fly fishing community, are morphing into serious threats with consequences that will impact forever on what we love and hold dear as a passion we share in the pursuit of liquid silver.

With this 'knock, knock'... now is the time to re-engage!

Tight lines...
