Sunriver Magazine - 2024-2025

Kokanee Salmon The Sunriver Anglers have been promoting fishing and conservation in and around Central Oregon since 1977. The club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Although based in Sunriver, we have members from all over Central Oregon, as well as “part-timers” from out of the area who support us with their memberships. Our club prides itself on bringing together like-minded individuals who not only like to fish, but who care about our beautiful natural resources and the management of our lakes and rivers. We participate in educating the next generation of fishermen/conservationists through our work with the Kokanee Karnival and Anglers Education (4th and 5th graders). We also support college students through scholarships and help fund the summer interns who help remove the invasive tui chub from local lakes with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODF&W). In 2023, we, along with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing hosted an all-expense paid three day guided fishing trip for six veterans. We backpacked brook trout fingerlings to Doris and Lucky Lakes, and we helped with a DNA study of the stocked Cranebow trout at Crane Prairie Reservoir. As for social functions, we enjoy assorted fishing outings, our famous tri-tip picnic and the end of year holiday party. The Anglers meet once a month at the Sunriver Homeowners Association Recreation Center (SHARC) in Sunriver. Our upcoming meetings are posted on our website and are published in the Sunriver Scene. Members and the public are welcome to all meetings. Learn more at SunriverAnglers.Org or by liking us at facebook.com/ SunriverAnglers.
