Join us on Saturday, June 22nd
on the Molalla or the Umpqua
for a bashing good time!
Join us for an exciting weekend of conservation and fishing fun! On Saturday, June 22nd, the Native Fish Society invites you to participate in either our third annual Umpqua Bass Bash, or our inaugural Molalla Bass Bash! Whether you’re in Southern or Northern Oregon, there’s bass to be caught by all. Umpqua Bass Bash Details:
After two fantastic years, we’re expanding the Umpqua Bass Bash to accommodate more participants for a weekend filled with fun. Hosted at Tyee Campground on the Umpqua River, this event will help remove smallmouth bass from the river while raising awareness about the impact of invasive species on native fish and the ecosystem.
- What: Third Annual Umpqua Bass Bash
- When: Saturday, June 22nd
- Where: Tyee Campground, Umpqua River, OR
We’ve reserved 12 campsites at Tyee Campground for Friday, June 21st, and Saturday, June 22nd. Feel free to stay overnight and make the most of the weekend!
On June 22nd, participants will enjoy a day of fishing for smallmouth bass, informative presentations about native fish conservation, raffle prizes, and delicious food. Even if you can only join us for the day, we’d love to see you there. Please register to let us know you’re coming, so we can plan accordingly.
For the first time, we’re also bringing our bass bash event closer to Portland, specifically to the Molalla River. Starting from Canby Community Park, we’ll fish to remove smallmouth bass and raise awareness about their negative impact on native fish and the Molalla River.
- What: First Annual Molalla Bass Bash
- When: Saturday, June 22nd
- Where: Canby Community (River) Park, Canby, OR
Similar to the Umpqua event, the Molalla Bass Bash promises a day of fishing, informative presentations, raffle prizes, and tasty food. Register now to secure your spot and help us make a positive impact on the river.
