Stream Enhancement, Education, Angling Opportunity
April 2nd, 2022
Great day on the water this weekend helping the Nestucca, Neskowin & Sand Lake Watershed Council clean up litter here on our Nestucca Bay.
Love it when a plan comes together and thank you to all the volunteers as well as local businesses that participated!
Dale Buck passed away March 15, 2022 and has been one of the pioneers of Rhoades Pond since the beginning in 1999.
Dale helped develop the non-profit group we all know today as the Nestucca Anglers.
Dale was a Board Member for twenty years and just recently stepped down due to health reasons.
Dale was involved in every aspect or our Board and the success of raising our Fall Chinook at Rhoades Pond.
Even though Dale was not a fisherman, he was very proud the Nestucca Anglers was producing a great angling opportunity and Rhoades Pond Fall Chinook are a huge contribution of that opportunity.
Dale will be missed as a Husband, Father, Community Member of the Nestucca Basin and a Friend.
Sincerely,
Ron Byrd
Nestucca Anglers (President)

Standing tall for years to come……..

Teaming up again with ODFW and Cedar Creek Hatchery. Nestucca Angler Volunteers took on and completed a Hatchery (Hatch Box) lid replacement project this past week. (85) new lids were built as a complete replacement for the hatchery house.
Note: See gallery page for more photos
Cedar Creek Hatchery brought to Dana Hulburts Nestucca (3rd/4th grade) classroom an incubator exercise to familiarize young students with the life cycle of Salmon. We believe ODFW hatchery conservation programs are key in educating our students.

We would like to say thank you to everyone that worked so hard to collect our Broodstock and assure we met our egg take again this year.
