Chambers will touch on steelhead management escapement goals for the Olympic Peninsula that were developed in the early 1980s and efforts to use updated data to improve management of this amazing resource.

Members and guests should bring a fly or $1 and participate in a raffle to win a nice selection of flies. All adults and families are invited to attend.
