Have you ever heard it said, that there is a fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

Well that’s how the guys must have felt, on Thursday 8 June, when they looked at the pile of fishing equipment we found in the ODFW workshop. After considerable discussion and arm waving, it was readily moved & seconded that we put…. Dave “The Terminator” Dinsmoor in charge of rigging for Power Bait…. Bud “The Fastest Knot in the West” handled, you guest it, Knots…. Jim “Straight Eye” Dunlap & Brian “Wrench” Hudson handled Rod assembly & Reel malfunctions…. Dave did such a good job of organizing the work party “by the numbers,” that all Big Fish & I had to do to help out was by generally getting in everybody’s way and adding significant confusion to “The Terminators” by the Numbers Plan. All in All, it was a fun 2 hours of team work that resulted over 85 Rods & Reels being ready for the Kids on Saturday.

As you may recall, our Fishing Club was ask to help put fishing gear together and act as mentors in support of the ODFW Kids Fishing Day to be held at Big Creek Reservoir on Saturday 10 June. Special Thanks to these 4 men for truly reflecting our Longview Hills Fishing Club Ethos. Big Fish & I were very proud to stand with them as members of our fine Club. Stay tuned for my observations on how the Kids Fishing Day turned out…. Pray for good weather & strength for us Old Fisher-Mentors !!
