‘Fish on!’: Fatherhood is

celebrated at sweet event

Dads and their children gathered
June 15 at the Chehalis Tribal
Fisheries Department to cast their
lines during Fatherhood Fishing Day.
The annual gathering is hosted by
the Chehalis Tribal Early Learning
Program, which provides families the
opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day
with a fun day of fishing.
It is a great opportunity for dads,
uncles and grandpas to pass on
cultural traditions and the art of
fishing. Families have the chance to
strengthen bonds and father figures
share knowledge and guidance.
Children are taught to snag, battle
and hopefully land fish.
The day was filled with action
and also provided a delicious treat
for the dinner table with a little
added gratitude in knowing the
effort put into the meal. It’s not just
about catching fish, rather it’s more
about having fun and learning time-
honored cultural traditions.
In addition to supplying fishing
gear, Fisheries staff also stocked the
pond and prepared the fishing site
to ensure accessibility for everyone.
Early Learning staff made the day Dads and their munchkins spend a
complete by providing a barbecue day casting lines and landing fish
meal for all participants. during Fatherhood Fishing Day.
