SUMMARY:Fly Tying Series at W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Fly Tying Series with Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi and the Wenatchee River Institute  \nDo you fly fish or would you like to fly fish? Then you need flies! Learn the basics of fly tying from Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi. This is a five-Tuesday series Feb. 11 – Mar. 10\, 6-8PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. There is nothing like catching a fish with a fly you hand tied. \nEnjoy small-group instruction by Merighi and the Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers\, assisted by the Trout Unlimited Icicle Valley Chapter. Learn about fly-fishing equipment\, philosophy and the basic entomological connections between aquatic food sources and local fish -with minimal Latin. Each student will come away with an understanding of beginning fly tying techniques\, including the use of tools and various fly tying materials enabling the independent tying of diverse patterns. \n“Tying a fly is more than bringing together materials to create a lure. It’s realizing you must learn so much more in order to fish correctly with a fly. Its not just randomly trolling\, casting with large lures\, or chucking a glob of fish food out from shore in hopes a fish might randomly swim by and take the bait. It’s first understanding why a fish would take your offering and then bringing together those materials to create an appealing fly\,” tells Merighi. \nMerighi received his first fly-fishing outfit for his 8th birthday. After losing most of the flies from the kit amongst tree branches and between deep rocks\, he bought a few hooks\, gathered a few strands of Christmas tinsel and together with dust bunnies collected from under his bed\, he tied his first flies. From then on\, Merighi was hooked! \nFind out more about observing the natural habitat of the fish species you are perusing to determine the best appearance and action of your entomological creation. You will then be able to experience the satisfaction of catching fish with your own hand tied flies. \nAll materials and tools are provided. Students will leave with 6-8 flies to begin new fly-fishing adventures. Class size is limited to 12\, is designed for ages 15 and up with skill levels from beginner to Intermediate. Please contact Rachel Bishop with questions\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or 509-548-0181 x5. \nSeries cost is $60 for WRI-members and $70 for non-members\, including all five evenings with materials and tools provided. \nEvent link:  https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/11/fly-tying-series/274359 \nAdditional Links: http://wenatcheevalleyflyfishers.com/ and https://iciclevalley.tu.org/

SUMMARY:Canoeing the Hood River at W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Canoeing the Hood River\, an adventure to the vanishing Arctic\, Wenatchee River Institute Red Barn Event \nIn July 2019\, Wenatchee Valley residents Gordon Congdon\, Paul Hessburg\, Gary Womeldorff\, and Andy Dappen spent 23 days canoeing the Hood River\, a river flowing northeasterly from the lakes of Nunavut in northern Canada to the Arctic Sound. On Wed.\, Feb. 12\, 7-8:30pm\, come hear tales of their trip in WRI’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. \nThe combination of abundant wildlife\, challenging whitewater\, extreme remoteness\, and rugged landscape make Hood River one of the premier northern rivers to canoe. Yet\, the many portages around un-runnable rapids and waterfalls makes it a physically demanding trip; only a few groups paddle it each year. \n“The four of us who took the trip are in our mid-60s\, and we worried if we didn’t do this river soon we wouldn’t be doing it all\,” said Dappen. “We felt it important to run the river sooner rather than later\, partly because we were still fit enough for all the portaging\, and partly because the Arctic is changing so fast\,” he concluded. \nBy the mid-1980s\, the Bathurst caribou herd was composed of over 472\,000 animals migrating north through this watershed during summer to feed on nutrient-rich foliage and lichens near the Arctic Sound. In late summer\, the herd again travels through the watershed\, returning to the more sheltered wintering grounds of the boreal forest to the south. A variety of environmental challenges connected to climate change has seen the herd numbers crash\, and by 2018 the herd had diminished to a mere 8\,200 animals.\n“When a keystone species like the caribou crashes\, everything dependent on it implodes along with it\, from beetles\, birds\, beers and wolves to vegetation. The Arctic we experienced was not really the Arctic of old\, what we experienced was really only a romanticized concept of the Arctic\,” lamented Dappen.\nCongdon prefers to canoe through wild\, remote places\, where the chances are good to see large carnivores\, such as wolves and grizzly bear. Says Congdon\, “I love the Arctic. The tundra landscape explodes with life during the 6-week summer season. The sun never sets so you can paddle during the day and hike long into the evening.”\nWhile the area is referred to as barren lands because of its far north location and temperatures cold enough to prevent forest growth\, at ground level the canoers enjoyed taking in the sights of dwarf trees\, shrubs\, flowers\, grasses\, sedges\, mosses\, fungus\, and lichen carpeting every available square inch of ground. “The land is anything but barren\, it is lush with both flora and the fauna\,” explains Dappen.\nPart discussion\, part slideshow set to ballad poetry written by Hessburg during the journey\, this presentation captures the essence and magnitude of the adventure\, while also addressing the scope and importance of what is being lost in the vanishing Arctic.\nAnd while the group would certainly enjoy padding the Hood again\, considering limitations of time and funds\, they are keen to set their sights on new rivers to paddle and adventures to be had.\nDoors open at 6:30pm for community social and no-host refreshments\, presentation begins at 7:00pm. While this a free event\, donations are appreciated and will help WRI continue to bring enriching programs like this to the greater Wenatchee Valley community.

SUMMARY:Fly Tying Series with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Fly Tying Series with Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi and the Wenatchee River Institute \nDo you fly fish or would you like to fly fish? Then you need flies! Learn the basics of fly tying from Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi. This is a five-Tuesday series Feb. 11 – Mar. 10\, 6-8PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. There is nothing like catching a fish with a fly you hand tied. \nEnjoy small-group instruction by Merighi and the Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers\, assisted by the Trout Unlimited Icicle Valley Chapter. Learn about fly-fishing equipment\, philosophy and the basic entomological connections between aquatic food sources and local fish -with minimal Latin. Each student will come away with an understanding of beginning fly tying techniques\, including the use of tools and various fly tying materials enabling the independent tying of diverse patterns. \n“Tying a fly is more than bringing together materials to create a lure. It’s realizing you must learn so much more in order to fish correctly with a fly. Its not just randomly trolling\, casting with large lures\, or chucking a glob of fish food out from shore in hopes a fish might randomly swim by and take the bait. It’s first understanding why a fish would take your offering and then bringing together those materials to create an appealing fly\,” tells Merighi. \nMerighi received his first fly-fishing outfit for his 8th birthday. After losing most of the flies from the kit amongst tree branches and between deep rocks\, he bought a few hooks\, gathered a few strands of Christmas tinsel and together with dust bunnies collected from under his bed\, he tied his first flies. From then on\, Merighi was hooked! \nFind out more about observing the natural habitat of the fish species you are perusing to determine the best appearance and action of your entomological creation. You will then be able to experience the satisfaction of catching fish with your own hand tied flies. \nAll materials and tools are provided. Students will leave with 6-8 flies to begin new fly-fishing adventures. Class size is limited to 12\, is designed for ages 15 and up with skill levels from beginner to Intermediate. Please contact Rachel Bishop with questions\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or 509-548-0181 x5. \nSeries cost is $60 for WRI-members and $70 for non-members\, including all five evenings with materials and tools provided. \nEvent link: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/11/fly-tying-series/274359\nAdditional Links: http://wenatcheevalleyflyfishers.com/ and https://iciclevalley.tu.org/

SUMMARY:Pybus University-Working Towards Zero Waste
DESCRIPTION:We all want to reduce our waste\, but is “zero waste” really achievable? Join us in a discussion about ways to produce less garbage. What can really be recycled in NCW? What can be avoided entirely? And should “zero waste” really be the goal? We’ll take a virtual walk through the typical home\, talking about practical ways to reduce waste in each area of our lives. There will be an emphasis on items we use in the kitchen and “on-the-go\,” where much of our waste comes from. We will provide ideas for reusable items that can replace disposable options\, and where to find them. We’ll provide local resources for recycling\, reusing and composting as well. We’ll also talk about how we can change our outlook from the focus on consumption and convenience\, to one of being mindful about the “stuff” that we buy and where it goes when we’re done with it. \nThis is a FREE event but Pybus asks attendees to register using the link below. Rumor has it that there could also be free childcare for this event provided by TEAMS Learning Center (stay tuned!). \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/working-towards-zero-waste-tickets-86610884487

SUMMARY:Avalanche Cycles & Atmospheric Rivers with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Science on Tap! Avalanche Cycles and Atmospheric Rivers- the winter of 2019-20 in the Central Cascades \nOn Thu. Feb. 27\, 6-7pm\, learn life-saving information during Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Science on Tap! at Badger Mountain Brewing\, 1 Orondo Ave. in Wenatchee. Matt Primomo\, avalanche specialist for Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) will talk about this season’s snowpack\, weather\, and avalanche events\, exploring the correlation between avalanche cycles and atmospheric rivers. \nWhether you backcountry ski\, snowboard\, snowshoe\, snowmobile\, winter camp\, or just like to get out on the snow\, avalanche education and snow science is for you. During this Science on Tap! presentation you will learn from one of the best. Leavenworth resident Primomo is an Avalanche Specialist who has worked with NWAC since 2018 and writes the avalanche advisories for the East Central\, East North\, and Stevens Pass zones. \nAbout Pacific Northwest snow\, Primomo said\, “The weather patterns and how they interact with the mountains can be super complex. The mountains themselves take up such a large amount of area and it’s so diverse. It’s been wild to track and think about snowpack in a spatial sense from the Pacific Crest all the way to the Columbia River.” From the NWAC website. \nThis is a free event with $1 raffle tickets for WRI and Badger Mountain Brewing prizes to raise funds for WRI youth and adult programs. Feeling lucky? Come out on Feb. 27 and buy a handful of raffle tickets\, enjoy refreshing beverages\, and learn how more than mere luck will keep you safer in the backcountry.\nFor more information\, contact Rachel Bishop at (509)548-0181 x5 rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org \nEvent link and registration here: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/27/science-on-tap-avalanche-cycles-and-atmospheric-rivers-the-winter-of-2019-20-in-the-central-cascades/281940

SUMMARY:Fly Tying Series with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Fly Tying Series with Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi and the Wenatchee River Institute \nDo you fly fish or would you like to fly fish? Then you need flies! Learn the basics of fly tying from Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi. This is a five-Tuesday series Feb. 11 – Mar. 10\, 6-8PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. There is nothing like catching a fish with a fly you hand tied. \nEnjoy small-group instruction by Merighi and the Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers\, assisted by the Trout Unlimited Icicle Valley Chapter. Learn about fly-fishing equipment\, philosophy and the basic entomological connections between aquatic food sources and local fish -with minimal Latin. Each student will come away with an understanding of beginning fly tying techniques\, including the use of tools and various fly tying materials enabling the independent tying of diverse patterns. \n“Tying a fly is more than bringing together materials to create a lure. It’s realizing you must learn so much more in order to fish correctly with a fly. Its not just randomly trolling\, casting with large lures\, or chucking a glob of fish food out from shore in hopes a fish might randomly swim by and take the bait. It’s first understanding why a fish would take your offering and then bringing together those materials to create an appealing fly\,” tells Merighi. \nMerighi received his first fly-fishing outfit for his 8th birthday. After losing most of the flies from the kit amongst tree branches and between deep rocks\, he bought a few hooks\, gathered a few strands of Christmas tinsel and together with dust bunnies collected from under his bed\, he tied his first flies. From then on\, Merighi was hooked! \nFind out more about observing the natural habitat of the fish species you are perusing to determine the best appearance and action of your entomological creation. You will then be able to experience the satisfaction of catching fish with your own hand tied flies. \nAll materials and tools are provided. Students will leave with 6-8 flies to begin new fly-fishing adventures. Class size is limited to 12\, is designed for ages 15 and up with skill levels from beginner to Intermediate. Please contact Rachel Bishop with questions\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or 509-548-0181 x5. \nSeries cost is $60 for WRI-members and $70 for non-members\, including all five evenings with materials and tools provided. \nEvent link: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/11/fly-tying-series/274359\nAdditional Links: http://wenatcheevalleyflyfishers.com/ and https://iciclevalley.tu.org/
