Wild Steelhead Coalition presents film, benefit Thursday in Spokane
FISHING – The film “Our Two Hands,” which beckons anglers to conserve wild fish, will be presented on Thursday in Spokane as a fundraiser for the Wild Steelhead Coalition.
The event, which includes raffles for guided trips, rods, reals and other items, will start at 6 p.m. at Lincoln Center, 1316 N. Lincoln. The film will screen at 7 p.m. Cost is $10.
“Fishing and hunting have always been a part of my life, but nothing has gripped me like steelhead,” said local organizer Josh Mills. “Their journey is nothing short of remarkable and I want to be a part of the solution that keeps them coming back to us.”
The coalition contends that anglers can’t be satisfied to rely solely on hatcheries to produce Washington’s state fish.
“Wild steelhead hold the greatest amount of biodiversity in their genetics to rebuild the runs,” Mills said. “That is why I hope that other anglers will be a part of the solution help the recovery of wild steelhead here in our area and around their historic range.”
Other outdoor nonprofits planning to attend the event include Save Our Wild Salmon, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Spokane Riverkeeper, Spokane River Forum, Spokane Fly Fishers, Spokane Falls Trout Unlimited and Spokane Women On the Fly.
