GO FISH!
"Getting kids hooked on Jesus"
GO FISH! Provides Youth 10 & Up
the Opportunity to...
Save Salmon
GO FISH! takes youth on the Snake River to fish for Northern Pikeminnow, a major cause of juvenile salmon mortality. WDFW PAYS anglers $6-10 per fish to remove them from the Snake River.
In addition to Pikeminnow we target Smallmouth Bass and Walleye; both voracious predators of baby Salmon and non-native to the Snake River. There is no money to collect for them, but they are good to eat.
Explore Creation
Unplug. Unwind.
Marvel at God's Handiwork.
Everyday is an adventure on the river Lewis & Clark explored. Keep your eyes open for an assortment of wildlife: deer, cougar, otter, coyote, beaver, eagle, osprey, pelican, snakes, dozens of species of fish, and much more!
Encounter Christ...
...on the River
The Gospels record Jesus inviting some fishermen to be his first disciples, leaving behind their boats to go "fish for people." GO FISH! equips youth to follow Jesus and "fish for people" by getting youth back on the boat on a journey of discipleship. Each fishing trip becomes a floating spiritual community as the day is ordered with times of prayer, scripture readings, periods of silence, shared meals, and discussions of faith and life.
Earn Money (fishing!)
To earn money with the Northern Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Program, all you need is your Social Security number, mailing address, and for those 15 and older, a valid fishing license. Pastor Matt McNelly, along with our adult volunteers, equips youth to fully participate by providing: any equipment needed, instruction, and the boat!
