Two events for Saturday consideration

Join South Coast Trout Unlimited in its continuing partnership with Heal the Bay for their Coastal Cleanup Day.

We will be cleaning up the Los Angeles River and the adjacent park areas, from 9 a.m. until noon this Saturday (Sept. 18). Gloves and trash bags will be provided.

Most of the trash in the streets and parks make their way into the watershed via storm drains and eventually the ocean. You are doing your part to reduce the giant islands of plastic found floating in the middle of the ocean.

Please wear a hat and comfortable closed-toed shoes. Sunscreen and Hand sanitizer will be provided.

Stick around for the amazing raffle prizes as each participant will be given a raffle ticket, you might win a fishing pole

Life finds a way …

Carp

Trout Unlimited’s Bob Blankenship sent in this amazing photo he took. Here’s what he said: I was at the lower LA in South Gate a couple weeks ago, around Hollydale Park. I walked down into the river channel – the dystopian part where there’s nothing expect a hundred-yard-wide concrete slab. I wanted to check out the low flow channel there and as I walked upstream I came upon a fish – about 18 inches of carp that was headed who-knows-where? There’s about two miles downstream of concrete channel and probably eight miles upstream. Life finds a way, right?

See you on the river, Jim Burns
