In recognition of World Fish Migration Day, May 21st, we are hosting a free jig tying workshop from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM with project manager Caleb Mentzer and Council friend Evan Moso, proprietor of Spin-X Designs Tackle!

This will be an outdoor lunchtime event at a private residence on the Siuslaw River in Mapleton. A light lunch of grill foods will be provided. Space is limited to the first 15 participants who register. So don't wait, and please specify the number attending with your party when registering. Table space and a jig vise will be available for each person. An address and directions will be provided once registration has closed.

River access will be available on site to test your new jigs for those who bring their rods and reels (remember your license!). In the event of poor weather, the workshop will be held in the Siuslaw Watershed Council (SWC) office meeting room (10868 E Mapleton Rd). Please monitor your email if the weather looks questionable.

The activity is free, but donations to SWC are welcomed to cover the cost of food and materials. The vises and leftover supplies will be reused during our youth Exploration Camp in June.

Registration is via phone [541-268-3044] or email [outreach@siuslaw.org].
