Michael Slate sent in a report about a successful fishing trip with Tim Erlenmeyer recently. The pair found a group of walleye near Goat Island and fished bottom bouncers and walleye spinners. Could this be a worm harness?

The anglers used the colors of pink, purple, yellow and green, with green the big producer, according to Michael.

Thanks for sharing, Michael.

Congratulations

Congrats to the Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers who caught the %#@^&*(*%# persons who were netting fish at Lake Lenore. Those were fish in the small stream leading to the spawning area. And those were fish for the ethical to catch and release again and again.

At least the fish did not go to waste. The Moses Lake Food Bank handed them out the following Monday and, I understand, the entire 242 didn't stay in the refrigerated truck for long.

From Alan Heroux: Fishing event June 1

It looks like we have most everything covered for the fishing event at this point with the exception of the money. Several of your groups have committed donations, but we have not received any of them yet.

I sent out the donation request form in an earlier email, so if you need something else please let me know. If you don't, please send your donations to the Chamber of Commerce office as soon as possible.

Remember, we will also need volunteers the day of the event so please let me know who we can count on and in what numbers.

Thanks, Alan

Dennis note: This must be the annual Fishing Kids Day. If so, this is a wonderful event with bunches of youth catching the first fish of their lives. Volunteer if you can. There are plenty of volunteer positions besides bait a hook and taking a fish off a hook.
