June 2009 Fishing Post
June 28, 2009
June included two trips to the Deschutes for the salmonfly hatch – one with Jon Bowers and one with Gary Hager. The month started with a volunteer Kids Fishing day at Bonneville Dam. We helped a bunch of kids catch their first (or near first) fish. My kids and nieces had a ball out there as well.
Bring your kids out to Bonneville next year in early June. Also, here is the link for the Oregon trout stocking schedule (http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/fishing/trout_stocking_schedules/). I have mixed feelings about hatchery fish, but it is a good way to get young anglers “hooked”. 
This is my niece Anna. We had about 150 kids come through my station, but their folks did the photography
Sadly, I was too tired to head up to Timothy Lake this final weekend of the month for a float tube outing with the Tualatin Valley Trout Unlimited (see tvtroutunlimited.blogspot.com) chapter.

Gary and I utilized our tribal permits to good effect
Hank Hosfield also managed to get me into a shad at Bonneville.
