For nearly three days along the Sandy River, laughter, learning, and new experiences filled Camp Angelos as the Association of Northwest Steelheaders hosted Family Fish Camp 2026. Held May 1–3 in Corbett, Oregon, this year’s camp brought together families, volunteers, educators, and community partners with one shared goal: creating meaningful connections through fishing while building confidence, stewardship, and belonging in the outdoors.

Dear Fellow Steelheaders,

It was a meaningful moment for my family and a reminder of the importance of the work we have all contributed to over the years.

For more than six decades, the Association of Northwest Steelheaders has been a leading voice for the protection and restoration of salmon and steelhead, public access to our fisheries, and education of the next generation of anglers.

The Northwest Steelheaders Hall of Fame was established to recognize the individuals whose dedication, leadership, and passion have worked toward achieving these goals.

The Hall of Fame is also our most important fundraiser of the year. This is more than recognition—it’s about sustaining a movement. We invite you to partner with us in celebrating that legacy—and investing in what comes next.

Early bird pricing in effect until September 1!

Want to connect your business with the recreational fishing community? Don't miss out on our high impact sponsorship opportunities this year.
