Restoring rivers for a new generation of fishermen
Jeff Schlecht has spent his lifetime fishing. Now he figures it’s time to help others have those same opportunities. … Earlier this year, Schlecht and two others went to work to remove small dams along Spencer Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River. Located near Chase Mountain in Klamath County, Spencer Creek is known for its quality trout fishing. Removal of the small dams was part of what Schlecht sees as a larger effort to “give back” by recreating a Klamath Falls chapter of Trout Unlimited, a national non-profit group with a slogan of “Fishing. Conservation. Community.”
