I hope everyone is excited as I am for the upcoming fishing season. The fish have been great. The hatchery improvements really show in the lively beautiful trout. Everyone is doing an exceptional job releasing fish. We almost catch twice as many fish as we stock! We will be tackling the cleanup of the fly pool. This will require help preparing the area. Keep an eye out for a work party to do this.
Stockings start this month. Remember you cannot bring guests on scheduled stocking dates. Occasionally, I have to reschedule a stocking. This is normally due to high water. As we know from last May?s down pours! Since this is at a moment?s notice, I can only inform people on our email list. If a date changes and it is not posted the newsletter and you bring a guest it is OK. I do not post stocking information on the website.
The fishing rules are included in the March newsletter. Please read them over. A couple key rules are make sure you sign in and out, and you can only kill one trout 16 inches or greater. So be prepared to properly release your catch. For people not familiar with catch and release techniques they will be in this newsletter. I just read about using a circle hook for bait fishing. This hook is difficult to swallow and normally loges in the mouth. Remember we are our own police. Be polite and show respect for your fellow members that are making sure you are not a poacher.
One more reminder, please do not post information about the club fishing on any of the public fishing forums. This includes pictures too. We don't need the advertisement to attract poachers. Have fun and respect our wonderful resource. Bob
