YOU CAN FEEL GOOD HELPING
Members can be as active they want on club projects. You can assist with improving warmwater fishing. Over
the years, club members have assisted with activities to improve warmwater fishing, such as building fish habitat at
Blue Lake (East Multnomah County), providing better handicap access at St. Louis Ponds near Woodburn), developing "Webster
Pond" and "Duemovich Bridge" (both on Sauvie Island), renovating "Hartmand Pond" (formerly Wakeena Pond next to Benson Lake
on I-84 East) from a salmon rearing facility to a warmwater fishery, including planting fish habitat and building a fishing
dock. The club continually seeks additional places in Oregon where improvements can be made. With club volunteers,
we help youth develop an appreciation for fishing and the outdoor water resource.
YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS REASONABLE
