General Meeting Highlights
The 2025 Salmon Derby and banquet are now history. We are happy to report that although it was hot and windy and there were few fish, this was our best Derby yet. We had 69 entries which brought in 16 fish. We sold 3,250 raffle tickets for 43 board items and had 34 Silent Auction items. Dinner was enjoyed by 41 hungry folks. We thank the County and City for their generous donations to our event as well as all of the local (and not so local) community support.
Hatchery Update
The last of our 2025 fish have been released. It’s time to begin the process for 2026! There will be several work party opportunities as we clean up and prepare for the 2026 season of fish. Check out the Volunteer Opportunities below to determine where you can join in the activities.
