On September 14, members of the Oregon and Washington Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucuses got a firsthand look at what Columbia River fisheries mean to anglers and adjacent communities during the 4th annual Columbia River Fishing Day.
The event brought legislators, fish and wildlife agencies, sporting organizations, anglers, and community members together for a day of fishing and discussion about the future of the river. This year we hosted more than 22 legislators and policy staff with 16 boat captains and deck hands volunteering their time and efforts for the day.
