General Meeting January 27th

Don't forget the first General meeting of the year at the Senior Center in Edmonds, this Wednesday the 27th at 7:00 PM. We will have a guest speaker from Puget Sound Anglers to talk about the North of Falcon season setting process among other things.

I wanted to also thank those of you who showed up Saturday morning to help assemble and launch the net pen for yet another season. We will keep you posted when the pen will be stocked and moved into position inside the Edmonds Fishing Pier. The eggs are also doing very well and will be moved into the pond within the next 2-3 weeks.
