Youth pheasant hunt set for Sept. 22-23

The Vancouver Wildlife League will hold its annual youth pheasant hunt this September 22 and 23 in cooperation with the WDFW. The event will be held at the shooting pavilion located at the Vancouver Lake boat launch, and at the first parking lot just before you get to the Caterpillar Island Boat Launch.

Both locations are noted on the activities page of the Vancouver Wildlife League website.

The league will provide a hot dog lunch, and hunters without dogs may be matched up with volunteers that do.

The league is looking for volunteers with dogs to help with the event. If you have a good hunting dog, and would like to help a youngster get his or her first pheasant, please show up at the two locations before 8 am to be paired with a young hunter.

The sign-up will take place prior to the event, from 7:30 to 8 am, when the hunting will start. There will be a discussion on safety before the hunters head into the field.

Youth hunters must possess a hunter education card and wear 800 square inches of blaze orange. Non-toxic shot is required.

Clark-Skamania Flyfishers meeting

The Clark-Skamania Flyfishers will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. It will be held at the Camas Meadows Golf Club.

September’s speaker will be Bill Wheeler who is an Master Certified Casting Instructor. Bill’s subject is “Unraveling the mysteries of fly lines.” He will cover how they are made, how taper affects your cast, why they float or not, and other mysteries.

Tentative Washington razor clam digs set

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced a tentative schedule for the fall razor clam season set to begin in early October. Tentative dates are listed on the WDFW’s website.

Final approval of all scheduled openings will depend on results of marine toxin tests, which are usually conducted about a week before a dig is scheduled to begin.

Based on beach surveys conducted this summer, WDFW estimates the total razor clam population on most Washington’s beaches has increased.
