The third annual Youth Fishing Day on the Chilkat River was a great success. Dozens of young anglers and their families showed up to try their hand at casting for Dolly Varden. Thank you to the sponsors who made Youth Fishing Day possible. Alaska Power and Telephone provided prizes, Alaska Sport Shop provided tackle and Howsers IGA provided snacks. If you’d like to learn more about fishing opportunities for youth around Haines, stop by the Haines Fish and Game office anytime during the week.
