Watch the latest videos from HFF’s Membership Meeting, featuring key updates and discussions on conservation efforts and the future of the Henry’s Fork watershed.

Dr. Rob Van Kirk delivered an insightful hour-long presentation on the multifaceted topic of river health and the important work of the Henry’s Fork Foundation (HFF). Throughout the session, he explored various trends affecting the river’s ecosystem, including climate shifts, changes in hatch patterns, and how these factors impact both fish populations and fishing conditions. Dr. Van Kirk also highlighted the collaborative efforts and partnerships that HFF has fostered over the years, sharing key accomplishments that have contributed to the sustainability of the watershed.

The presentation was not only informative but also deeply personal, as Dr. Van Kirk reflected on his 40-year relationship with the Henry’s Fork. He shared poignant memories, beginning with his first fishing trip as a young boy with his father and brother, a moment that sparked his lifelong connection to the river. As he wrapped up the presentation, he gave a heartfelt nod to the mentors and individuals who have influenced and guided him along the way. He even touched on a recent, memorable fishing day just a few weeks ago, underscoring the enduring impact the Henry’s Fork has had on his life, both personally and professionally.

A New View Beneath the Surface

New monitoring technology brings a clearer picture of Island Park Reservoir—and new possibilities for the Henry’s Fork. It started with a massive crate in the Henry’s Fork Foundation parking lot. After a summer of troubleshooting, learning new technology, testing equipment, and plenty of problem-solving, HFF’s newest water-quality monitoring buoy made its way onto Island Park Reservoir in September. What may look like a simple piece of equipment floating on the water represents an exciting step

From River Bottoms to Mountaintops

For the first half of my internship, it was unclear if we would get to install the snow monitoring stations.
