FW: GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MESSAGE .......

 

LONGVIEW HILLS FISHING CLUB  >><<  ATTENDANCE DEFICIT DISORDER ????

 

Hello fellow LVH FC Members ……… We (the FC Board) have been concerned about what appears to be a continuing trend in the decline of Member Attendance at our Bimonthly Club Meetings & the general Lack of Involvement in other Club Activities.

 

Hence, our concern for what we perceive as our club beginning to show signs of >><< ATTENDANCE DEFICIT DISORDER !!!!!!!!  

 

As you all know, our Club's Ethos Statement makes it very clear that this is YOUR Fishing Club & the FC Board Members serve at YOUR Pleasure. It goes on to affirm, that WE ALL have a responsibility to support & contribute to the Club's Ethos as a strong Social & Community Resource, intended to benefit all LVH Residents & our other off campus Member Friends. This is a collaborative process………

 

We would not be doing our job if we did not address the A.D.D. Symptoms we are seeing & it is also your job to get more involved in helping to reverse this A.D.D. trend. To that end, we are asking you to give us some feedback, using the following member survey, so that we can attempt to better serve you & ultimately restore a fresh vigor to YOUR Fishing Club going into the 2009 New Year ahead:

 

(We have designed this survey for you to easily reply by E-Mail … Just hit reply & fill in the blanks and send them back!!  We will also have copies of the survey on the fishing club board at the clubhouse or available at the next meetings.  Return those surveys to box 14.

2008 LVH FC SALMON DERBY

LONGVIEW HILLS FISHING CLUB >><< SALMON DERBY for 2008         ( 1 August thru 30 November )

 

Yes, Fellow Anglers >><< Even with the ODFW Fishing Limitations placed on the 2008 Salmon Fishing Season, we will be holding our Annual Salmon Derby for 2008, beginning on the 1^st of August & running thru the 30^th of November.

 

This year the Club will fully sponsor the Derby & will not require any entrance fees for Derby Anglers. As we did last year >><< We will be following the same ODFW Regulations, as it relates to fishing in our local mid-coast rivers & watershed. The Largest Bright Fish will be considered the Derby Winner, with the appropriate anglers’ name being engraved on the Derby Plaque, which is displayed on the LVH FC WALL.

 

Wayde Dudley will again be “Tracking” all fish caught. So it is incumbent upon all Derby Anglers to keep him informed of your catch. If your fish is not registered with him, it could jeopardize your chance of winning the 2008 Derby.

 

The Derby Plaque will be presented to the Derby Winner at our 1^st Fishing Club Breakfast in January of 2009.

 

WE WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST OF LUCK WITH THIS CHALLENGING 2008 SALMON DERBY SEASON ………….. THE HOOK

"Monster" Lake's Rare Giants Lure Anglers, Biologists

"Monster" Lake's Rare Giants Lure Anglers, Biologists: "Standing on the shores of Thailand's Lake Monster, angler Brendan O'Sullivan knew there were endangered giants lurking near his baited hook—and that conservationists were happy to have him score a rare catch.

The 7-acre (2.8-hectare) lake is one of several created in recent years near Bangkok for anglers who want to hook some of the world's most exotic fish.

Lake Monster alone boasts roughly two dozen types of freshwater fish, many of them threatened with extinction."

NEED A BODY !!!!!

NEED A BODY TO FILL IN FOR THIS FRIDAYS SILETZ TRAP RUN ………..

 

Here’s the Deal >><< I am slated to go up to the Siletz Trap on Friday, the 18^th, with Wayde & Kevin. Today my Mary was informed that she needs to have an MRI done on her back .. Pronto !!!    We have been very fortunate to get an MRI Slot at the Corvallis Hospital for early AM on this Friday.

 

I feel strongly about getting Mary to Corvallis for her Medical Appointment >> but << I also feel strongly about trying to get some additional help for the guys that have Trap Duty this Friday. As you know we have been seeing significant increases in the number of fish running into the Trap. Hence, 3 guys sure helps to spread the Trapping Load …………

 

If you can see your way clear to fill my slot this Friday, I would sure appreciate it & I know Wayde & Kevin would too. Please contact Wayde & CC Me & Bill if you can Cover My Butt !!!!

 

SPECIAL THANKS ……………….  THE HOOK

GONE FISHING!

This in from Phil Reed on July 9th:

What does a guide do when he wants to catch a fish? He hires another guide to take him fishing. Yesterday I had to chance to fish with a old friend and his wife on the North Fork of the Lewis River out of Woodland, Wa, there was four of us fishing alone with Tim and his Wife Shana. It was a great day to fish with friends. We landed 5 summer steelhead, avg day for Tim who's guiding on the Lewis this summer. It was a great day to sit back, hold the rod and let someone else drive the boat for a change. If anyone wants to hook up with Tim, let me know and I will give you his phone number, but he's booked for years in advanced, thats how good he is. Now its off to the BBQ for fresh steelhead and wine!

At the July 3rd breakfast meeting at the Agate Beach Golf Course, Wayde Hutchings (11-year old grandson of Wayde and Barbara) gave the report on the Bay Crabbing Trip in Grandpa's place. (See report on Bay Crabbing Trip below). Grandpa was busy at the Siletz Fish Trap.

Wayde and his 16-year old grandson, Scott Hutchings, at ODFW on the morning of July 3rd getting ready for duty at the Siletz Fish Trap. See below for Wayde's report on Siletz Fish Trap.

Thursday, July 3, 2008

Wayde & his grandson Scott Hutchings went to the Siletz trap with Kevin Bastien and Derek Wilson today. They wanted to check it on Thursday because Friday is a holiday and there are a lot of fish in the river. Mostly sunny in the gorge today and in the mid 60's. The trap was checked on Wednesday the 2nd and 50+ fish were left in the trap and 60 were hauled to Moonshine Park and released. The trap held 110 fish today with the following count:

Hatchery Steelhead

36 bucks 53 hens

Wild Steelhead

6 bucks 14 hens

Wild Chinook

1 jack

60 fish were released at Moonshine Park and 29 were taken to Lincoln County Food Share.

The temperature in the trap and at Moonshine was 60 degrees. There were many fisherman today near the 1 mile mark. 3 deer were seen on the way in this morning.

Bay Crabbing Trip - July 2, 2008

The Bay Crabbing Trip went very well. Wayne, Barb, Wayde and 2 grandsons (Scott and Wayde) made the trip. The weather was very good and the crabs cooperated. We were on the Misty from Tradewinds Charters. It is 52’ long and very comfortable. We used 12 pots and crabbed near the north jetty about half way out. There were 9 paid crabbers on the boat. In the allotted 3 hour trip we caught 94 Dungeness crabs and 6 red rock crabs. Many of the crabs were quite large and all seemed quite full of meat. Each crabber took home 10-1/2 crabs each. We had a great time, and I hope next time more LVH Fishing Club members can make the trip.

SOME FISHY POETRY !!!

A FISHY POEM …………..

 

Hello Pard’s >><< I just ran across this poem written by a guy named Scott Starbuck. It is entitled, “Dream of the Peasant’s Revolt” >>< Hope you enjoy it >>>>>>>>>  

 

So, two guys in suits arrive,

Flash their badges,

And say they are from

The Secret Service…..  

 

They say the President

wants to fish here

and for security purposes

I must leave…..

 

“But this is America,” I say,

“Taxpayers own this river and

I have been fishing this spot

For thirty years.”

 

“We understand, but you still have to go.”

says the short one.

So I Go, but before I do ……

I heave “Five Stones” in the River ……

 

I think I would enjoy Fishing with Scott. However, I would have entitled his Poem, “Five Stones in the River” !!! ……. THE HOOK

 

 

   

FW: Mac Report

A SUPER BIG MAC REPORT !!!

 

This Just in from Alan Canfield & Co.      THE HOOK

 

-----Original Message-----

Subject: Mac Report

 

Mac came through the "Heart Test" in good shape.  Thankfully, the test

revealed no heart problems, other that the previously diagnosed valve

that needs repair.  This was good news.

 

He will soon have another blood test to determine the conditions of his

kidneys after the dye test (only two teaspoon fulls were used).  If all

is well he will then proceed to the open heart surgery to fix the valve.

 

Both Kimberly and Mac seem to be in good spirits, but your thoughts and

prayers are still in order.

 

Alan
