$A River Runs Through It \u2013 The History of Fishing on the Columbia$

The Camas-Washougal Historical Society invites members and the public to dive into the fascinating history of fishing along the Columbia River at its next community program on Sunday, November 16, at 2:00 p.m. The event will be held at the AWPPW Building, 514 NE Dallas Street, Downtown Camas.
Guest speaker Steve Jones, lifelong angler and president of the Washington Council of Fly Fishers International, will share stories and insights from decades spent exploring the Columbia and its tributaries, from the coast to the Snake River and into Hells Canyon. Jones and his wife, Emily, have called Camas home for 35 years, and he brings both local perspective and statewide knowledge to the topic.
Jones’s talk will also touch on conservation efforts, including the push for Wild and Scenic River designation for several Olympic Peninsula rivers, a campaign vital to protecting the region’s remaining wild salmon habitat.
Light refreshments will be served, and a brief society business meeting will follow the presentation.
