Subject: POSSE PRACTICE

 

 

There will be "posse" practice at the quarry, Thursday 9/4, after the breakfast meeting.  We will leave the clubhouse 10:30 am and carpool to the quarry.  A new wrinkle this time will be helium filled balloons on 3 foot tethers.  Should be challenging.  There will also be clay pigeons and paper targets.  I will provide 2 each 9mm GLOCK pistols, 1 45 cal.GLOCK, 1 40 cal. GLOCK, 2 each  22cal pistols, 1 10/22 Ruger Rifle, 1 223 cal AR 15 rifle & a 12 ga shotgun.  The shotgun is a trap model and not the combat gun.  Bring ammo for any gun you would like to shoot. Wal-Mart has decent prices on ammo.

Several members of the LVH Fishing Club got together on Friday, August 22nd, for a clean up of Big Creek Reservoir. As always, many hands makes light work (or something like that). We had great weather and it didn't take long at all to have it looking spiffy.
Do NOT try this at home!
Cleaning up a bed frame someone was inconsiderate enough to toss on the side of the road.
Hoping that putting up a SOLV trash bag on the post will keep people from throwing trash in the Monofiliment Recycling Station on the other side.
Brian can't help himself, whenever he gets a chance he has to advertise the Aquatic Angler Program. (Good job, Brian!)

LVH Fishing Club had its 4th Birthday Party on August 21st at the LVH Clubhouse. As seen in the photos, everyone had a wonderful time. We had cake, wonderful guests to help us celebrate, and a good presentation from Virginia Tardaeweather of MidCoast Water Shed Council.

The First Annual Fishing Club Picnic was on Saturday, August 16th at Ona Beach State Park. This was a combined effort with LVH Fishing Club, NW Steelheaders and the Central Coast Fly Fishers.

We had beautiful weather, great food and wonderful friends. There was even a casting contest. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had a great time at our monthly breakfast meeting at the Agate Beach Golf Course on August 7th. We had visits from old friends Jerry Gibson and Bud Roark and a very special treat for everyone was the appearance of Mac Andrew and his wife. Mac looked so well and so fit and it was really great seeing him. All that clean living must account for something, Mac!

RESTORATION ON BIG ELK CREEK

ODFW begins restoration efforts on Big Elk Creek
Date:	August 11, 2008

NEWPORT, Ore. -- Throughout August and September, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be placing 335 large boulders and 54 whole trees at selected sites in a 3.4 mile stretch of Big Elk Creek near Elk City. Fish habitat biologists have long known that adding trees and boulders to degraded streams can help improve salmon habitat, said Jason Kirchner, ODFW habitat biologist. But while these efforts have been successful on hundreds of small streams and tributaries, this is the first time ODFW has applied this technique on a much larger river. "We usually work in streams that are 20-25 feet across," Kirchner said. "Big Elk Creek is 70-80 feet wide with lots of water volume so we have to bring in bigger, heavier materials that won't wash away during heavy winter flows." In addition, the materials will be strategically placed near the banks of the stream rather the spanning the water from bank to bank as they would on smaller tributaries. The trees and boulders will help accumulate spawning gravel for chinook salmon and create a more diverse, complex habitat favored by salmon, steelhead and trout, Kirchner said. An excavator began placing boulders on Aug. 1 and in September a heavy-lift helicopter will place 54 whole trees 100-150 feet long and 15 root wad trees. "As you move into larger rivers the challenges are different than when you're working in smaller tributaries," said Kirchner. "If this project is successful, we hope it will become a model for restoration projects in larger streams." Over the next five years ODFW will monitor the effectiveness of the project by documenting changes in stream habitat and fish use near the newly placed trees and boulders. The project is a cooperative effort funded and supported by a mix of state and federal agencies and private landowners including Yaquina River Chinook Advocates (U-DA-Man Fishing Club), Gates Tree Farm, Green Diamond Resource Company, Oregon Department of Forestry, U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This cooperation is a hallmark of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds and the Oregon Conservation Strategy, which bring together a wide range of public and private partners to promote the recovery of vulnerable fish populations.

BEAVER CREEK FISH-A-LONG

We have planned a fish a long for Saturday, August 23rd, starting at 9:30am at Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is at mile post 149 which is Ona Beach. We launch on the east side boat ramp and gather on the west side in the picnic area (the trip under 101 is interesting as the pigeons live there and believe they own the turf!

This beautiful creek is home to Cuts, native Steelhead and native Coho. We will be targeting Cuts and emphasizing catch and release (barbless hooks) to protect this fragile native fishery.

Fishing from the bank is limited, but possible. Butch will provide a few pontoon type boats for those who want to experience the real fun of trout fishing.

Cuts may be taken on Spruce flies, Spiders and a variety of dry flies. A five or six weight rod will be good as would something lighter if that's what you prefer.

I need to know right away if you plan to join us as we will be providing the usual (and always good) sausage dogs and hamburgers. You may bring other goodies if you would like, but that's not required.

Please respond ASAP, so we can prepare for a fun day.
