April 4th the Nestucca Anglers transported our 2022 Fall Chinook to Rhoades Pond from Cedar Creek Hatchery. As you can see some of our youngest members pitched in and did most of the hard work.
Stay posted on the web site and we will keep you updated on the progress of this years classic fish. Thank you for everyone’s support.
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.
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.
