ALL IN: Are you ready to discover fishing in a restricted area of the river in Long Beach? (William Preston Bowling)
If you are free to help fish Willow Street in Long Beach on Wednesday from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m., please let William Preston Bowling at FoLAR know by RSVPing wpb@folar.org. He’ll fill you in on the particulars, including where to meet.
The group will walk the bike path with elected officials to show them that recreational fishing around Willow Street is possible, and instead of using their imagination it would be awesome for them to look down and see a bunch of anglers enjoying recreational fishing.

Happy summer all!
We are hoping to have a dinghy to help pull a small trawl net in addition to working the banks.
Kayaks, floating fishing chairs are welcome! Please spread the word.
Hope to see you on the river in August!
Thanks, Rosi
