May / June 2015

I really cannot believe that I am writing this for the May/June newsletter. Winter hung on so long this year that it seems Spring has come and is going by in a flash. Heck, I cut my grass for the 1st time just this week (not that it did not need it much earlier, but between rain & fishing I didn't have a chance). However, once the grips of Old Man Winter let go, the fishing around the lake has gotten pretty good - and as we enter the spawn season I am hearing reports of large numbers being caught down-lake in their "spawning grounds" (caught a few myself this weekend). 

Spring is always a busy time for the Club. I am not going to try and touch on everything here as the key events are covered elsewhere in this newsletter. However, know that we definitely need your assistance and support in various events - and with all we have going on, there is an event that should be interesting and attractive to everyone. 

I want to personally thank the many new members which have joined the Club in the last few months. I am excited to see the increase in our membership - as well as a solid return of our existing members for 2015. To that point, your Club's leadership team wants to hear from you on what you want to see from the Club - last month a Survey was distributed to solicit that input. If you've already responded - thank you! If you haven't, please do so by the May meeting. Remember, if you submit your name/contact info with the survey, or turn in your form directly to a member of the Club leadership team at the May meeting, you will receive a $5 credit to the Ship's Store... and what better timing given all the new items becoming available in the store in May. 

I hope that you are getting a chance to get out there and enjoy the wonderful fishery that we have - and I thank each of you for your participation and support of the Club as we all work to ensure we have this great resource to enjoy for decades to come! 

Fish On! - Mike Ward
