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.
THE CLUB'S OBJECTIVES
To encourage and stimulate interest in angling for warmwater game fish; to perpetuate warmwater species in waters that are adaptable; to create better fishing through club efforts and cooperation with other organizations and agencies; to assist in the observation and enforcement of game laws; and to fight pollution in all the waters of Oregon.
