Due to the newsletter not making it to you prior to this fish-in, pre-fishing and other activities turnout was dismal.

    The fish-in was on lake Sawyer on Sat May 15th and here's what happened…...

    I had breakfast with myself (quite entertaining actually).  Don Baxter and Don Sanger joined me at the launch

    Just as we were getting ready to launch  Phil & Brian Hudgins came out to fish, ( not knowing of the Fish-in) and Faz and John Harris came out to put some time on Faz's motor.

    So in the end we had a good time, some fish were caught and we stuffed ourselves with Brats, Chips and Sodas.
