They Came, They Fished, They Won...Prizes!

Saturday, May 7th was the 3rd year we had a Youth Fishing Derby and the
response was outstanding! Lots of fresh young faces (and some older ones, too)
came down to do some fishing and walk away with a little something to show for it.

If you couldn't be there for the Fishing Derby, then make plans to come down to
Youth Day on Saturday June 11th (Rain date June 12th). There'll be plenty
of activities including fly casting, bait casting, traditional archery,
bb handgun target shooting and .22 rifle target shooting*

*Parental permission required. Must be accompanied by an adult.

It's a day where the next generation of sportspeople
learn safety, responsibility, technique...and FUN.

Here's some snapshots from the 2005 Fishing Derby

That ole' grand master George Clarkson is sharing some tips
(or fishy stories) with this young fisherwoman...

Everyone found a spot they liked around the pond...

who needs a fishing pole, anyway?!!?

Chief measuring officer Paul Reinhard looks in on
this young lady's prize catch...

fishing and eating...an American tradition!

And this is how you do it, Pop...

Nobdoy goes home empty handed at this derby.
Prizes are awarded for every imaginable category...
including just being there.

Thanks to Jim Harris for all the great photos!!!
