On behalf of the Ontario Steelheaders Board of Directors, HAPPY NEW YEAR to our members and their families. 2014 brings in with it new challenges and opportunities to accelerate the organization to new heights. Our new web site will become more insightfully informative, provide and promote club functions and membership participation. Members will be able to submit their own fishing stories, photos, comments and opinions and more. More updates soon!

2014 will bring with it a general meeting (date and place TBA) and this is your opportunity to run for a position as a board member. A strong committed board only makes the organization grow. So let’s utilize the new website – in your member area, you can already submit your stories, write articles, submit photos, make comments on our website; an opportunity for you that brings new adventures to the club.

Also, we are asking members to recruit new memberships and each membership submitted will generate one ballet into a draw for a prize to be awarded at each derby date. Remember to include your name on the new membership form.

Each year we are continually asking for your participation in the many programs we have to offer – steelhead egg collection, adult steelhead trout transfers, fund raising, steelhead fin clipping. Our membership drives benefit not only our members who love to fish for steelhead trout but all who want the enjoy the great outdoors! We are working to implement tools in our website to better communicate these volunteer opportunities to our members

as they are short notice due to weather and river-flow related conditions.
