The Caldera Project is specifically designed to address the questions of what the status of the wild trout fishery is and why, what could be done to change that situation, and what the quality of the angling experience is in the Caldera. In addressing these questions we will also examine and summarize the body of existing research that has been conducted in the Caldera to date.

Be on the lookout...

Some Tricos as well as a strong caddis hatch this morning at Osborne Bridge. Also noticed this large plume of smoke to the West, on the far side of Thurmon Ridge. Photo was taken at around 1 pm this afternoon from the parking lot at Osborne. So far not sure what the cause of this fire is - watch for smoke to come into the caldera depending on wind direction. So far there is no threat to Harriman State Park, or the Henry's Fork, but will post more as it becomes available.

The plume of smoke seen yesterday looking north at Thurmon Ridge is from the Willow Wildland Fire Use (WFU). This fire has been burning for several weeks in the Centenial Mountains. It is being managed by the Forest Service as a WFU, the term used to describe the management of a lightning-caused fire burning in an approved area to play its natural role in the life cycle of the forest. It is not put out unless it poses unacceptable risk. For more information on the Willow WFU then please visit: http://www.idahofireinfo.blm.gov/east/currentfires.htm - and scroll down the page.
