Winter Steelhead are Here
On January 18th, seasoned steelheaders Mike and Tony Frolov tried their luck at fishing the North Santiam for Wild Winter Steelhead and managed to catch and release three chrome-bright fish. Efforts are now in the works to have Mike and Tony provide us with a program in the near future and tell their story of how they managed to find and land these beauties.

Please remember to bring a prospective member to one of our next three meetings. During the months of February, March and April, Salem Chapter members are encouraged to bring a fishing buddy to a meeting as a prospective recruit. In April, there will be a special raffle drawing for a fishing rod for both new members and their hosts. The ANWS is providing these rods to encourage membership growth during the drive.
