• Our region’s multimillion-
dollar sport fishing industry is
likely to be affected by changes
afoot in our local hatcheries and
dams. People who fish spend millions of dollars in Lane County each
year on guided fishing trips, boats and gear of all kinds, travel and ac-
commodations. But Oregon is seeing a steady decline in fishing license
sales while most other states are seeing growing license sales. Local
guides tell us there are fewer wild and hatchery fish being caught, and
they are concerned not only for the health of our local rivers, but also
for their livelihoods.
• As long as we are talking about fishing: The International Fly Fish-
ing Film Festival is 7 pm Thursday, March 15, at the Wildish Theater in
Springfield. The event, which sold out last year, is a fundraiser to aid Fly
Fishing Collaborative in fighting human trafficking around the world.
Tickets can be purchased for $15 online at flyfilmfest.com or at the
Caddis Fly and Home Waters fly shops in Eugene.
• Team Recycle is a relatively new Eugene business that provides
low-cost or no-cost sorting of recycling materials for businesses and
apartment complexes. Team Recycle helps businesses that have
dumpster enclosures keep the sites clean and tidy, and removes the
non-recyclable materials that contaminate the recycling stream, ac-
cording to Kristen Bartels of the company. “We prevent contamination
and increase recycling by 50 percent,” she says. Find the company at
team-recycle.com.
