The Michaiana Steelheaders want to promote citizen effort for protection, preservation and sport utilization of anadromous fish (fish ascending streams and rivers to spawn) wherever they may be. We are a non-profit organization, founded in 1975. The club is a great way to meet new friends and fellow fishermen.

A Special Thanks for all the members who turned out to support one of the only fund raisers the club has throughout the year, the 2008 Las Vegas Night! Unfortunately we only seen about 30 percent of the members. As always, the members who donated their time to put on the event did an outstanding job! The food was great and there was plenty of action going on throughout the night!
