Update on my quest.

A former co-worker of mine is married to a Wildlife Biologist that worked at Fish and Game for many years. He’s in the private sector now. I reached out to him on LinkedIn. (funny how old friendships help you in life). He is going to try to find ‘the guy’ to talk to about the Spawning Station for me. It was a timely re-connect with him, he said my reaching out was uncanny. He was thinking about getting his boys out to overnight to an alpine lake for some fishing and wanted my advice on some options. Too funny!

I’ll keep ya posted on what I learn about it but still welcome input from anyone who wants to share or impart knowledge.

Thanks Brian!

I found the same document, very brief… I’m surprised there isn’t more information or history out there about the Spawning Station.
When I came across the cabin on my hike I couldn’t help but think that my dad must have been up there when he was a Scout. The present cabin was built in 1949. My dad was a Scout in Troop 1 out of Cashmere from about 1944-1951. His uncle, Jim McKellar was the Scoutmaster. (McKellar was Troop 1’s first Eagle, BTW) Uncle Jim had a cabin on Lake Wenatchee and knew every inch of the mountains in the area, no doubt in my mind that he would have taken his Scouts up there to check it out, he probably volunteered the boys to help build it, lol.

Anyway, would be a good outing and informative if we had a fisheries guy there. The Scoutmaster for troop I still participate with is very interested with the outing idea. Who knows, maybe we have a future biologist in the troop.
I figure if anybody ‘knows a guy that knows a guy’, you’d be a good bet.

Attached are a couple pics from the station
