On July 23rd several members of the LVH Fishing Club had a very special tour. We visited Foul Weather Trawl Company. We were welcomed by Sara Skamser (The Trawl Goddess) who showed us the "almost" lost art of making and repairing fishing nets used by commercial fisherman. As the only business of its kind on the West Coast, Sara and her staff keep busy supplying commercial fishermen from Seattle to San Diego with these big and expensive nets. As impressed as we were by her business, I can only imagine how impressed and grateful her commercial fishing clients are. We are all lucky to have her here in Newport!
