Accessible NW Natural History: Les Davis Pier Fishing & Tacoma Waterfront Stroll

Join naturalists and hike leaders from the Conservation College for monthly Accessible Northwest Natural History Hikes. Everyone is welcome! Get some fresh air, exercise, learn how to find birds by sight and sound, sample wild edible and medicinal plants safely, and more.

This month is more of a fishing event than a hike, and we'll share all the fishing gear we've gathered over the years of running Wolf Camp. $15 contributions go to the Conservation Luminaries program, and a Fishing license is also required which you can purchase at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/

Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing, join us for a great day of fishing at our favorite local spot to learn the basics of the rod and reel with our seasoned instructors. We’ll show you how to follow laws and tradition to fish local rivers, foothill lakes, and the Salish Sea. Target fish include trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, surf perch, flounder, sole, dogfish shark, lingcod, and crab when in season.
