TVTU Events Spring – Fall 2025
Tuesday April 22, 2025: TVTU Board of Directors Meeting via Zoom. Contact Peter Gray, President, bccpjgray@yahoo.com.
Wednesday May 14, 2025: Nick Wheeler, Euro Nymphing in the Pacific Northwest, Portland Fly Shop https://theportlandflyshop.com/about/; Euro Nymphing is a short line nymphing method that uses very thin leaders and tippets, weighted flies, and a piece of colored line known as a sighter. All of this is used together to suspend the nymphs off the bottom while the angler maintains direct contact with the flies, which greatly improves strike detection.

Sunday August 17, 2025; 9:00AM – 12:00PM: Fields Bridge Park Restoration
Please join us at Fields Bridge Park in West Linn to help with habitat restoration.
This is a beautiful city park along the Tualatin River that has many uses (walking paths, baseball fields, community garden, playground, fishing areas). Throughout this summer, we will be removing typical invasive plants like blackberries, ivy, and holly before we begin planting in the fall.
This event is a collaboration between the City of West Linn (and its volunteers) and the Tualatin Riverkeepers.
