Warm Winter = Budget Gap. Can you help?
Sure has been a warm winter, hasn’t it?
If you drive a snow plow, own a ski park … or depend upon donations during an ice fishing tour … this weather hurts pretty bad.
At Recycled Fish, our wonderful corporate partners cover much of our up-front cost. However, we depend upon the funds raised at our events to help keep the cause moving forward. This year, many of those events have been smaller – or cancelled.
The loss in revenue comes at the most exciting time in our organization’s history, so we need your help to get through this tough spot. Take a minute to read the overview, then donate what you can. Please share the three-page overview below with anyone you think might like to donate. Together we can make sure that the unique work we’re doing at Recycled Fish to ensure healthy waters for generations never stops.

Recycled Fish “On Ice” Tour Update
Crazy winter, huh? The warm weather has led to a few cancellations on Recycled Fish “On Ice” Tour FIVE, but mostly it’s meant schedule changes. For the most up-to-date schedule of events, be sure to visit our Tour Schedule. Fortunately, we’ve been able to find events to replace cancelled events, so we’re still able to bring the Stewardship Ethic to thousands of anglers this winter. In fact, we’ve already seen over 40,000 anglers this winter!
Plus, we’re still having a lot of fun out there with everybody on the ice. Read the rest of this entry »

Stewardship Tip – Lake Trout
In Flathead Lake, near Kalispell, MT, lake trout have thrived. Lakers, introduced into Flathead in 1905, eliminated another introduced species, the kokanee salmon. Unfortunately, lake trout now threaten native species such as bull trout. According to Montana Trout Unlimited, bull trout spend their formative years in tributaries of the Flathead River before migrating to the lake. When they return, they fall prey to lake trout. By current estimates, there are only 2,500 to 3,500 bull trout in Flathead Lake.
