ANWS Tualatin Valley Chapter Fish-Along held on March 22 & 23
The Tualatin Valley Chapter hosted their annual Tillamook Area Fish-Along on March 22nd and 23rd. The weather was wet and most of the rivers were too high and muddy to fish but that didn’t stop Salem Chapter members Nigel Hearne, Bernie Hoene and Mike Ferris from participating in the event. The boys from Salem gave it their best shot in spite of the weather and managed to fish the Kilchis River both days. They didn’t catch much but they learned a lot.
Pictured above are Nigel Hearne, Bernie Hoene & Mike Ferris of the Salem Chapter and Darrel Barnes & Doug Yap of the Tualatin Valley Chapter fishing the Kilchis River
