This Spring, CCFEG is proud to announce the first of what will hopefully be many guest speakers.
Dennis Dauble, a long time Northwest resident and expert in regional fish and waterways, will be coming to give a talk on the history of fish and fishing in North Central Washington and Columbia Basin. Dennis will address historic fishing practices of local tribes, speak to the impact of white settlement on aquatic resources, and also discuss contemporary conflicts between our public values and resource management policies.
Dennis is intimately acquainted with our local watersheds, and will speak on issues that should be important and fun for any angler or resident of the area.
Dennis will be appearing at the Twisp Grange on March 15 at 6:30 PM, and then at Barn Beach Reserve in Leavenworth on March 16 at 7:00 PM. He will be staying after to sign copies of his award-winning book, Fishes of the Columbia Basin.
This year CCFEG also participated in the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival, and was a sponsor and participant in the first annual Methow Valley Salmon Celebration.
Stay tuned for future events.
