Pictures from: 2008 2nd Annual Squaxin NR Summer Youth fishing trip!

On Friday August 15, Squaxin Natural Resources took our summer youth on a fishing trip. This was the second year that we have taken our summer youth out fishing to thank them for their hard work over the summer. It was a beautiful day, even JD made the trip out for a couple of hours!

Darren Brownfield managed to catch a number of Spiney Dogfish. Sarah caught a sea star! Joefish had a nice Chinook on but it released the hook before we could get a net under it.

Michael Henderson went home with a nice 12 lbs. Chinook. I have never seen a guy reel in a Chinook as fast as he did.

Thanks Michael, Miguel and Jeffery for your hard work this summer.
