Thames River Cleanup - Update!
TRAA members met at the Komoka Road bridge on the morning of April 12th, grabbed some bags and spread out, cleaning up the area as we went in all directions.
In only a couple of hours, our small crew had a hugely positive impact on one of the most heavily fished areas of our river.Thanks to everyone who came out to lend a hand!
Tree Planting - Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 9:00AM
TRAA members will be joining those of the Friends of Medway to plant some trees. This event is happening on a Thursday because it also involves staff from the UTRCA.
The plantings will take place near the upper stretch of Medway Creek. Those members who can do so are asked to meet at the site, which is a property on the corner of Richmond Street North (Highway 4) and 12 Mile Road.
It should go without saying that you are responsible for wearing weather and work appropriate clothing. You should also bring along your own water bottle.Hope to see you there!
Brown Trout Release - NEW DATE: Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 8:00AM
Please change your calendars to reflect the new release date of April 26th. The rapid growth of the brown trout fry and the sharp change in donor stream water temeratures have necessitated an ealier release.
We will be meeting at the TRAA trout hatchery to load the brown trout fry into the transfer tank for their trip to their new home in the upper stretch of Medway Creek.This is a great kid-friendly outing so TRAA members should pack up the family and attend this event.
As has been the case in past years, the trout release is dependant on environmental conditions and the suitability of the donor stream for the event.TRAA members will continue to be updated by email as we draw nearer to the release date.
