Welcome to Fish First - Working to Restore Fish Runs
gary loomis, fish first president

The fate of our native Pacific Salmon and Steelhead runs is at a crossroads. If we continue on the road we are on, the fishing will only worsen. This is where the fish need our support. If we head in a new direction, we have the opportunity to restore our native fish runs.

Which path will you choose? I invite you to explore this site, learn more and become a Fish First member. Please join us today in our fight to save out native and wild salmon runs for future generations.
