Cookout, Community Gathering & Gear Swap
Join us on Friday, August 22nd, from 4:00 PM to dusk at Confluence Park in Issaquah for an evening of good food, great company, and a community gear swap!
This casual event is open to members, friends, family, and anyone curious about what we do. It’s a perfect summer evening to relax, meet fellow anglers and conservationists, and celebrate our shared mission of healthy waters and thriving fish.
We’re also hosting a Gear Swap, where you can bring gently used rods, reels, flies, waders, or outdoor gear to find a new home. It’s a great way to find new-to-you equipment and keep quality gear in use.
We’ll provide the burgers, hot dogs, and beverages—feel free to bring your preferred beverages, side dish, or dessert to share! Kids are welcome, and the park offers plenty of space to gather, enjoy the summer evening, and soak in the beauty of our local watershed.
