Hey! It's time to prep all the rods for Kids Fishing Day again. The event will be held on May 10, once again at the Clear Lake Resort. On the Thursday scheduled, May 1st, we will prep all the rods needed for this years event with help from several of the sponsoring organizations: INWC, Operation Sasquatch, Spokane Walleye Club, Spokane Fly Fishers, Les Schwab, and more.

Do you have kids you want to introduce to the fabulous sport of fishing? Look no further. Kids Fishing Day is for kids ages 5 to 13. The event will be held at the Clear Lake Resort on May 10th, and the cost of registration includes a rod & reel for your child, as well as an event t-shirt, bottled water, and up to 3 fish which will be cleaned for you to take home, or you can opt to donate it to the foodbank. Life jackets are required, and provided for each participant. Volunteers accepted! Registration will be available soon!

Join us for a project that pays it forward! We will be patrolling four routes in total, at two different locales within the eastside of the Colville Natl Forest: Aladdin Mountain and Squirrel Meadows. We will muster at the location linked below, just off of Hwy 20, and East of Hanks Butte Rd, about a 1/4 mile up Rocky Cr Rd. Our route patrol will include traversing each of the three routes on Aladdin, clearing them of winter blowdown, cutting all the fallen trees clear of the route, ensuring it is free and accessible for the entirety of each of those routes (the 330, 350, and 360 Roads). In addition, we will also inspect the two wheelchair platforms on the 360 Rd. If we have enough volunteers, we will send a team over to Squirrel Meadows at the same time to patrol that route and inspect the two platforms there. An advance team will head up to Tiger Meadows and establish a base camp for those who would like to stay overnight either Fri or Sat nights, or both. Whatever does not get completed on Saturday, we can finish on Sunday morning. Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog. Let's make this a family friendly event, with some outdoor learning in camp: how to establish emergency shelter, knots for the outdoors, and ways to start a campfire. Have questions? Contact the Disabled Access Team at:access@inwc.org

Looking for a way to give back? Looking for a community service project? Join us as we patrol two routes in the Colville National Forest (the 810 and the 830 Rds) that have been gated off for Disabled Access Only. We will patrol each of the routes, cutting away deadfall, ensuring that sportsmen, women, and youth with disabilities have access to the entirety of each route. In addition - we will be installing a wheelchair hunting platform on the 830 Rd. Any work that does not get completed on Saturday, we will wrap up on Sunday. We will be camping overnight to make that easier, and usually share a group dinner around the campfire. Team leaders for the project will arrive on Friday to secure a camp area, feel free to join them! Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog. Let's make this a family friendly event, with some outdoor learning in camp: how to establish emergency shelter, knots for the outdoors, and ways to start a campfire. Chain saws, loppers are needed, as well as clothing appropriate for expected weather conditions, gloves, bottled water, etc.Contact the Disabled Access Team for more info: access@inwc.org
