The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Sport Fish Division, would like to thank Howsers IGA, Alaska Sport Shop, First National Bank, Lutak Lumber, Parts Place, Alaska Power and Telephone, and Alaska Backcountry Outfitters for helping out with prize donations and gear for Youth Fishing Day, held on Saturday, April 26, at the 21 Mile pullout on the Haines Highway. Thanks go out to Jason Shull, who shared his experience with numerous kids and helped demonstrate fishing techniques. We would also like to thank the numerous people who attended; anglers and spectators enjoyed good weather, a few Dolly Varden caught, and a barbecue. We plan to host this event annually so be sure to watch out for announcements next April. Keep on fishing.
