Our meetings are held at the Haller Lake Community Club, 12579 Densmore Ave. N., Seattle, WA 98133.
The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. with introductions and announcements of new members. We then present an educational program featuring a guest speaker, usually a fishing guide, NFA member, or conservationist, who discusses an aspect of fly fishing. We then hear fishing reports and cover the business of the meeting. The meeting usually concludes around 9 p.m.
Guests: If you are not a member, please introduce yourself and sign in at the membership table near the door. You'll get a name tag, a free raffle ticket, and additional information about the club.
Our guest speaker at the June 18, 2026 club meeting will be Michaela Lowe from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Michaela will discuss WDFW research on the impact of sedimentation and scour on Chinook salmon egg survival in the Stillaguamish River watershed. To mimic salmon nesting sites, WDFW scientists buried a series of boxes and chains in gravel across the Stillaguamish River watershed in fall 2025. Last winter, torrential rain and record flooding hit the region. These storms, part of life in the Northwest, are expected to become more extreme, bringing more frequent and severe flooding as the climate warms.
In April 2026, Michaela and others from the WDFW research team retrieved the boxes and chains. Michaela will discuss their findings and WDFW’s efforts to better understand the threats to the life cycle of the imperiled Stillaguamish Chinook.
