There's Reasons to Celebrate this Spring!
Despite our hard fought progress on Columbia River Reform, a poor return has over-shadowed the fact that the sport fleet prosecuted a fairly successful spring Chinook fishery, without large-mesh gillnets part of the equation. It's a success we can't overlook.
COME JOIN US ON JUNE 17th
at the Holiday Inn at the airport, to celebrate our victory for a Columbia River Sportfishing Priority, what our next steps are on Columbia River Reform, and a vision for a strong future for Willamette River spring Chinook. Of course you can fish with or without a guide too. Just go to our
Quest Registration
and sign up for a guided trip, a self-guided trip, or just the dinner to see what the future holds for Pacific Northwest fishermen!
Finally, with all the high water and abundant snow pack, we'll see a prolonged spring Chinook season. Many of you already know the secret of Willamette River spring Chinook, this year should be no different. Help us be a part of the solution. Come Quest with us, and find out why the future is so bright! Bright, as in bright as a couple of Oregon City spring Chinook!

Volunteers Needed!
One of the things that makes Steelheaders great is that everyone enjoys fishing along with protecting and making our fisheries better. Often forgotton is the great diversity in talent and skills that many of our volunteers bring to this amazing organization.
We love all the time and energy that all our volunteers give to the many projects and programs that the Association and all the Chapters run. However, there are some particular skills that are likely amongst our members that we would like to tap into for some ambitious outreach and organizing goals the outreach team is looking to tackle.
Do you have any skills and time you could volunteer, perhaps even professional services that you would like to donate in:
- Graphic, Web or Print Design
- Non-profit Member and Donor Database management
- Fundraising
- Event Planning
It's true also that many hands make the load light. Can you reach out and can help ANWS?

We are sorry and disappointed that our highly anticipated QUEST tournament did not occur on it's original April 1st date, but the good news is that is has been switched to June 17th! We want to provide the best possible experience for Quest, and we couldn't justify that with for the Columbia River above flood stage this weekend.
However! We are planning something great for the new date!

Join the Steelheaders for the 2017 Salmon Quest Fishing Tournament June 17th. Begin your day with a full day of spring fishing with the best guides and anglers in the area. Fin clipped salmon and steelhead can put you on the winners' platform. The day concludes with a dinner, awards, and silent auction at the Airport Holiday Inn in NE Portland.
