ECKMAN LAKE FISHING DERBY (2008)

REFLECTIONS ON THE KIDS FISHING DERBY - ECKMAN LAKE -- 17 May 2008

This wonderful annual event, sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Waldport, went off without a HITCH !!! The only way that happens, is when a very fine bunch of very dedicated people come together TO MAKE IT HAPPEN !!!

On Saturday, the 17th - IT HAPPENED! We had beautiful Weather & a lot of wonderful Children caught a bunch of fish & enjoyed all of the many family activities made available to them compliments of the good men & women of the Church, Central Coast Fly Fishers, ODFW, US Forest Service, Parks Service, various Local Merchants & the Longview Hills Fishing Club.

A lot of preliminary, behind the scenes, work goes into doing something like this so well. It is most appropriate that our CCFF Friends be recognized for doing such an outstanding job of taking the lead with this year’s various Fishing Support Activities. A lot of Fine Anglers, from both of our Fishing Clubs, contributed Time & Treasure to make this event so successful.

One man in particular needs to be singled out -- Butch Minich. He clearly went Above & Beyond in his display of support for this successful Waldport Children’s Event. Butch is to be congratulated & both of our Fishing Clubs are very fortunate to count him as a member.

It is most appropriate, that I conclude by recognizing the many contributions made by my Longview Hills Fishing Club Colleagues. It always makes me proud to stand with each of you & I Thank You All ……….
