Fisheries and Communities
The Association of Northwest Steelheaders is proud to announce the release of our 2025 Annual Report, highlighting a year of advocacy, education, volunteerism, and community impact across the Pacific Northwest.
This report reflects the dedication of our members, volunteers, chapter leaders, partners, and supporters who continue to stand up for healthy fisheries, public access, and the future of recreational angling. Together, our volunteers contributed more than 14,600 hours supporting fishing education programs, hatchery operations, river access projects, youth outreach, veteran fishing events, and conservation advocacy efforts throughout the region.

From expanding Fish Eggs to Fry classroom programs and relaunching Family Fish Camp, to protecting public waterway access and supporting hatchery sustainability, 2025 was a year defined by action and momentum for Northwest Steelheaders.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to growing our impact, strengthening our chapters, and inspiring the next generation of anglers and conservation advocates.
We are extremely grateful to our volunteers and donors who provide the resources that make our programs possible, every bit helps. NW Steelheaders leadership is hard at work as we still face funding gaps moving forward.
