Solduc Outing 2012
The chapter hosted a Steelhead outing on the beautiful Solduc river near Beaver Washington in February 2012. We had 12 members participate with 4 boats floating the river, one group fished the Bogachel. The weather was good this year and just about everyone hooked or caught a Steelhead, most were wild fish and released carefully, one fish was a hatchery fish which went was kept. We camped on the upper river and had a big social pot luck on Saturday night, the food was great, lots of meat and good eats. This is annual event and we also do a Salmon outing in the fall each year on "the Duc". Good times for all that came! Thank you to Ron T. for providing us a great spot to camp on the river.
Skykomish Outing
Our Skykomish outing this year (2012) was fun, but pretty cold with all the snows we had. We had about 15 members that had signed up but the heavy snow prevented most from coming, regardless we had 4 members show up and do some fishing at Johns Cabin on the upper Sky. No fish were harmed (or caught) but the food was awesome and John showed us where to go. Thank John for the fun time at your cabin, I hope we can put together another outing up there, its a fantastic place to fish.
Here are are few pics.
Fish on!

Kids Fishing Clinic 2011
Our annual Kids fishing clinic was a huge success this year (2011) The chapter provided all the fishing gear for the kids ages 3-12 to catch some nice trout provided by Washington Department of Wildlife (thank you WDFW!). This event was free to all children and funds for the event were the provided by the chapter from funds raised at our semi- annual Banquette and Auction. The sun was out and the fish were biting, we had 12 big ones stocked and about 1000 smaller rainbow trout. At one point we had all of our fishing rods out and the kids were catching like crazy. It was a busy dock to say the least, but a good time was had by all. The chapter hosts this event every year, we have been doing it for over 25 years. Next years event will be on the first Saturday of June. Thanks to all the North-shore members and other volunteers who helped make a great day for all the kids who came out. Thanks to our NSTU photographers Sid Burklund, Chris Tompkins and Lorelei Begalka for these great pictures.
