Recycled Fish See-run Cutthroat Fly Fishing Summit - 04/27/07 05:14 PM
Anglers who have pursued the sea-run cutthroat trout know that they are a powerful, acrobatic, spirited fish which can seem as gullible one day as they can appear wily the next. Unique to the Pacific Northwest, these fish have experienced nearly devastating population decline in decades past, but thanks to conservation efforts, they’re back in force, offering a catch-and-release fishery to those who pursue them from Puget Sound beaches and estuaries.
A special opportunity to meet coastal cutthroat experts awaits at the Recycled Fish “Sea-run Cutthroat Fly Fishing Summit,” Sunday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Seattle Aquarium.
The “Sea-run Summit” gives anglers an opportunity to learn about this one-of-a-kind fishery and the amazing conservation story that goes along with it from the experts who know it best.
This evening of discussion, demonstrations, question-and-answer and one-on-one time includes Les Johnson, author of “Fly Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout,” Anil Srivastava of Puget Sound Fly Company, Chris Wilke of the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, and innovative fly tyers and anglers Roger Stephens and Leland Miyawaki.
The Sea-run Summit is open to anyone interested in learning how to fish for Sea-run Cutthroat Trout, and how to be an effective steward of this unique local resource. The night includes after-hours admission to the Seattle Aquarium, live entertainment, a mammal feeding, refreshments, silent auction and more.
“Our guests will have a chance to bid on a custom-built fly rod from Fetha Styx, and every attendee will receive a complimentary Recycled Fish annual membership,” said Matt Roberts, Recycled Fish Director of Programs and Initiatives. “But that’s only part of it. This is one of those events that people will be talking about for a long time. We are excited to see a full room and we encourage people to register early to be sure they get a seat.”
Admission is a $30 donation in advance, or $35 at the door. Proceeds go to Recycled Fish and will be used for angler education programs. Advance tickets are available at Puget Sound Fly Company, 25616 Pacific Hwy S. Kent, Wash., 98032, or at http://www.recycledfish.org.
Recycled Fish is a 501c3 non-profit fisheries conservation organization, dedicated to engaging and empowering anglers as the primary stewards of the resource.
