The 2014 Nongame Native Fish Workshop

The Native Fish Committee of the Oregon Chapter American Fisheries Society Presents The 2014 Nongame Native Fish Workshop.

This Year’s Featured Species are Blitzen River Whitefish and Borax Chub.

September 3-4, 2014
Page Springs Campground

The Native Fish Committee of the Oregon Chapter American Fisheries Society organizes annual field workshops featuring nongame native fish in Oregon. This year, the committee will study the Blitzen River Whitefish and Borax and Alvord Lake Chub. Species experts will lead discussions and field sampling to assist workshop participants to understand the biology of the species and associated management challenges. This is an opportunity to experience the species and their habitat.

There is no charge to participate in the workshop. All biologists are welcome to participate and students are encouraged to attend. We will camp the night of September 3 at Page Springs Campground. Water is available at the campground, but bring your own food and camping gear. Alternative accommodations can be found at French Glen.

The workshop will start 1:00 PM September 3 at Page Springs Campground, near French Glen, Oregon and will end at 100 PM on September 4. For more information, please call James Capurso, OCAFS Native Fish Committee Chair, at 503-808-2847.
