Members of the Wolf River Chapter of Trout Unlimited continued their monthly water monitoring and testing on tributaries of the Wolf River. These tests measure dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, stream flow, habitat and macro invertebrate life. The data collected will be used to determine the best course of action for any future stream improvements. All testing and monitoring has been coordinated by board member Jim Waters.
