OUTDOORS: Matt Schubert’s five best bets to do this weekend

■ Hoh steelhead — March is an awfully good month to be searching for steelies on the Hoh River.

With a break in the weather coming around this weekend, this could be your chance to hook a big fella.

■ Mohawk man — Ski-lebrity Glen Plake will give a special presentation at BarN9ne, 229 W. First St., in Port Angeles on Saturday night.

A veteran of several extreme ski films, including “Blizzard of Ahhs,” the famously mohawked man will show previously unseen archival footage during a meet-and-greet fans from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. at the bar.

All ages are welcome.

Plake will also meet with skiers atop Hurricane Ridge on Saturday and Sunday on the first stop of his 2011 Down Home Tour.

■ Bow down — The Wapiti Bowmen Archery Club will hold its annual 3-D safari shoot this Saturday and Sunday at its club headquarters in Port Angeles.

The two-day event will give bow hunters a chance to keep their skills sharp during hunting’s offseason.

For more information, see today’s outdoors column.

■ House building — Dungeness River Audubon Center will host a bird house building class Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at its headquarters, 2151 Hendrickson Road, in Sequim.

Students will learn how to design and construct simple bird houses, and by the end of the class will have one to take home.

Cost is $15 per person or $12.50 per person for two or more participants.

To register, contact the River Center at 360-681-4076.

■ Cutthroat talk — Author and cutthroat trout expert Pat Trotter will speak at the Olympic Peninsula Fly Fishers monthly meeting Monday night.

Trotter is a fly fisherman, biologist and author who wrote about the history and biology of cutthroat in his book “Cutthroat: Native Trout of the West.”

He will begin his talk soon after the meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Loomis Log Cabin in Port Angeles’ Lincoln Park.
