Cheney’s Role In Oregon Salmon Kill To Be Investigated | Bend | New West Network

Cheney’s Role In Oregon Salmon Kill To Be Investigated | Bend | New West Network: "In September 2002, tens of thousands of chinook salmon died in the Klamath River in Northern California. The California Department of Fish and Game laid much of the blame on low water flows controlled by the federal government, saying it created conditions that allowed a fatal gill-rot disease to spread through the fish, according to the Times."

The Bagdad Bait Shop is about to be replenished by hundreds of donated fishing poles from KRKT listeners all over Oregon, and now Omaha.  3 fishing poles used by National Champion OSU Baseball players will sent to Bahgdad on Wednesday. Mitch Canham, Mike Lissman and Daniel Turpine went fishing on gamedays while in Omaha for the CWS and their superstition was whoever caught the biggest fish, would have the biggest game, whatever works I guess. 

KRKT's Nate Gorman has obtained the 3 fishing poles and will be including them in the latest shipment to KRKT's Bagdad Bait Shop on Wednesday morning.

At our regular Club meeting on June 21st, Dean Hendricks, the “We Mak’em & You Catch’em” guy from Florence, and his partner Leroy Shotwell, gave a great presentation on their special hand made lures. Dean brought a great display of his selection of lures. He also gave a quick class on making your own personalized, special lure. We ended up with some real works of art. Also, we would like to give a special note of thanks to Dean for donating a rod and reel combo to include in our inventory of fishing equipment going to the troops in Iraq. (By the way, the shipment of fishing gear and dvd's has now been delivered by Wayde to the radio station in Albany and will be shipped to our troops next week).

We also voted to make Wayde Dudley “Special Projects Officer” and a member of the Board.
Congratulations, Wayde.

We had a great meeting, as usual, and would like to give special thanks to:
  • All who donated time, money, or equipment to the 2nd (and last) Time Around Shipment to our troops in Iraq;
  • Bill Furgason, for placing 3 Experimental ODFW Mono-Filament Line Recycling Stations at locations on the Big Creek Reservoir Complex;
  • Kevin McCarthy (K&M Construction) for donating 3 new Pressure Treated 4X4's, which made the above project possible.
  • Mac Andrew for his special "gift" to Big Fish (grappling hook/Ninja, very hush-hush . . .);
  • Greg Harlow of Northwest Steelheaders, who took time out of his busy schedule to come to the meeting to thank LVH Fishing Club for their involvement in the Kids's Fishing Day at Big Creek.
(We have become such an active club, if I have missed any "honorable mention" of anyone, please let me know so I can include them on our list. We do the best we can, but sometimes things slip by.)

Our special thanks to Bud Roark for doing such a fine job on this podium. Not only will it be used by the LVH Fishing Club, it will be shared with the Social Club and any other group needing it. Great job, Bud!

We stood there with the rain dripping of our hats; we shivered in the cold; and we sat trying to keep ourselves and our equipment dry . . . and, apparently, we loved it! I'm talking about LVH Fishing Club helping NW Steelheaders, CCFF and ODFW at Kid's Fishing Day at Big Creek on Saturday June 9th.

Since Friday was a beautiful, sunny day we had high hopes that Saturday would follow, however, it wasn't to be. We started at 7:00 a.m. and huddled under cover to enjoy the hot coffee and donuts (thanks, Greg). Then the small pool was filled with fish (for the little tikes), Butch and Bud set up to show the kids how to tie a fly, Alan and his group were busy stuffing fliers - and this was all before the kids came to fish. I would like to insert a note here: Jason, one of our recent grads from the RAP Program, was there at 7:00 a.m. and proved to be a great help to us. Good job, Jason! Rain didn't seem to stop the kids from coming. The big buses brought them to the park and then the shuttle bus was loaded up to bring kids and parents to the fishing spot. Volunteers were there to greet them all as they got off the bus, hand the kids their fishing poles, help them with bait, show them how to cast and (best of all) help them reel in their fish. It was so damp outside that Bud Roark had the envelopes holding his feathers seal shut! I have to admit that I had to quit about noon (I had all kinds of excuses) and some had to leave early due to other appointments (why didn't I think of that?) but most stayed the entire day.

As always, watching a child catch his or her first fish is a joy that is not to be forgotten. We all considered ourselves the lucky ones to be able to experience it.

LVH Fishing Club is first and foremost a Club where great people can get together and share great stories. Some of them may even be true . . .

However, we also have become a service club and, I think, a benefit to the Newport community.
We should all be very proud of the work we do in this Club. With that in mind, we were all very honored when James Ray and Casey Deckard of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife surprised us with two awards at our last meeting on June 7th. We received a certificate of appreciation for our help with the Responsible Angler Program with the Newport Middle School. As this was our first class since several of us received our Instructors cards, we were especially pleased with this recognition. James and Casey then presented LVH Fishing Club with an award of appreciation for all the help we have given ODFW. This award was in the form of a beautiful wood fish carving. We are in the process of getting it ready to hang on The Wall so keep watching for it! Congratulations to all of you for all your hard work!
