• Salmon derby — The LaPush Last Chance Salmon Derby returns to the coast this Saturday and Sunday.
The entry fee is $25, with cash prizes awarded to the largest ($500), second-largest ($250) and third-largest ($100) salmon submitted.
There will also be a $100 reward for the largest bottomfish.
Also, there will be a drawing for gifts for ticket holders immediately following the close of the derby.
For more information, call 360-374-2531.
• Vulture walk — Vulture expert Diann MacRae will lead a birding trip in search of migrating turkey vultures at Salt Creek County Park on Sunday at 10 a.m.
The group will meet at Tongue Point overlook on the west end of the campground loop at the park. Bring snacks, water, and scopes if available.
For more information, contact Larry Rymon at 360-681-6399.
• Strait salmon — Sekiu anglers were picking off silvers left and right during the last week of the area’s non-selective fishery.
It stands to reason that the same school of coho should be coming through Area 6 (eastern Strait) the next few days.
• Mushroom Mania — Fungi should be showing up all around the Peninsula.
One of them just might be worthy of the glory that is “Mushroom Mania” — the PDN’s annual mushroom contest.
See today’s outdoors column for more details on the contest.
• Sol Duc salmon — Scores of coho are coming up the Sol Duc.
Now that some water has finally arrived, it might not take a stroke of luck to catch one.
