Trout Power

Trout Power returned to Great Camp Sagamore with 30 volunteers to sample waters around the central Adirondacks. 10 years ago was Trout Power’s first event held at the camp. This weekends event celebrated of a decade of work in the Adirondacks. Highlights included guest speaker Dr. Spencer Bruce presenting on brook trout genetics, an amazing concert by Big Slyde, and of course- Brook trout fishing!

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate 😎

Double eagle day 

Trout Power board members Paul Miller and Ken Murphy attended Sportsmen’s Day at the New York State Capital today in Albany to share Trout Power’s citizen science efforts and advocate for conservation!

Our message was shared with Senators, Assemblymen, and state representatives. No matter the political affiliation, we can all agree that advocating for brook trout conservation is important!

Spend some time by our virtual fire! Our annual Trout Power Member’s meeting is this Monday 3/9 at 7pm!

Open to all members, this virtual meeting will recap our events from 2025, review recent genetic data, and reveal our Spring event location.

There are so many wonderful organizations and groups out there doing important work, and they need support more now than ever. Whether it be Trout Power or another organization, we encourage you to consider donating to a cause you believe in.

If you are unable to donate since you just spent money on black friday, small business saturday, and cyber monday (did we miss one?), then support brook trout by adding to our Giving Tuesday post with an awesome brookie photo, or write a favorite fish story.
