BEAVER CREEK FISH-A-LONG

We have planned a fish a long for Saturday, August 23rd, starting at 9:30am at Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is at mile post 149 which is Ona Beach. We launch on the east side boat ramp and gather on the west side in the picnic area (the trip under 101 is interesting as the pigeons live there and believe they own the turf!

This beautiful creek is home to Cuts, native Steelhead and native Coho. We will be targeting Cuts and emphasizing catch and release (barbless hooks) to protect this fragile native fishery.

Fishing from the bank is limited, but possible. Butch will provide a few pontoon type boats for those who want to experience the real fun of trout fishing.

Cuts may be taken on Spruce flies, Spiders and a variety of dry flies. A five or six weight rod will be good as would something lighter if that's what you prefer.

I need to know right away if you plan to join us as we will be providing the usual (and always good) sausage dogs and hamburgers. You may bring other goodies if you would like, but that's not required.

Please respond ASAP, so we can prepare for a fun day.

Alan
