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.

The South Fork’s deep, ripping currents, and plugging canyon walls hold many anglers fish of a lifetime. However, beyond trout fishing, it is the community deeply rooted in the waters

(Almost) Snow-less Snow Science

As an MSU undergrad studying snow science, a summer internship might sound unlikely. Fortunately, snow is an invaluable resource year-round out here in the west, providing the majority of our water supply. My original project with the Henry’s Fork Foundation was to install snow monitoring stations across the watershed to better capture the spatial variability of its winter snowpack, however funding and approval has been backlogged. Luckily, my mentor ,Dr. Otto Lang, had another project

My First Time Fly Fishing

Claude’s secret but likely identifiable fishing spot My first Sunday in Ashton, Claude, the Washington and Lee Intern, did me the great kindness of taking me fly fishing for the first time in my entire life. I am not in any way an experienced angler. I’ve caught one fish in my entire life. I can’t identify it, and I only caught it with the help of my vastly more experienced little brother.

Although, from my work here so far, fisheries and aquatic science is starting to call my name. Crazy how one (or half of one) internship can change your mind so quickly! So, what does the Field
