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.

Kids - Get Hooked on Fishing!

Great Places to Take the Kids Fishing!"

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!

LVH FC CLUB RECOGNITION

COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD           (24 May 2007)

 

The Lincoln County School District, under the direction of Superintendent, Mr. Tom Rinearson, held their 2007 Retirement & Recognition Dessert at the Embarcadero Resort in Newport, OR. This evening ceremony was attended by over 200 Teachers & Administrators. It’s primary focus was to recognize the many contributions made by the current & retiring Teachers of the Lincoln County School District.

 

As a part of this Grand Event, 8 County Volunteer Organizations were recognized & presented with Community Service Awards, for the contributions they have made to support & enhance the challenging work being accomplished by the Outstanding Teachers who comprise the District Teaching Staff.

 

The Longview Hills Fishing Club was honored to be one of the organizations recognized for the work it has done in the Newport Middle School, under the guidance of the Oregon Department of Fish & Wild Life, by presenting a 7 session Responsible Angler Program to the EBD Students of that school. This is the direct result of the trust & support extended to us by Mrs. Eckleman, Newport Middle School Principal & Mr. Malcolm Koch, the Teacher with primary responsibility for these students.

 

Our award was received on behalf of the Club, by Brian Hudson (Lead Instructor) who has provided outstanding leadership for our 7 Member Instructor Team. Brian & his fellow Aquatic Angler Instructors are to be commended for their efforts, which resulted in making this 1^st time effort so beneficial to the students of the Newport Middle School. As an aside, Mr. Rinearson, a angler in his own right, complimented us by extending an invitation to have us bring the Responsible Angler Program back to the Class Room again next year.  

 

It is appropriate to note, that our Instructor Teams are comprised of various members who have cross club affiliations with the North West Steelheaders & Central Coast Fly Fishers. This exemplifies the very best utilization of our Coastal Fishing Club Resources to support the vital work being accomplished by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wild Life.  

 

Suffice to say, we are honored by this award recognition & very proud to stand with our colleagues who comprise the 3 Coastal Fishing Clubs within the Local ODFW Jurisdiction.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

 

The attachment to this BLAST reflects the perspective of James Ray, ODFW STEP Biologist. We believe it speaks volumes about “The Spirit” of the Membership of the Longview Hills Fishing Club.

 

Each & Every One of You are to be commended for what ever humble accomplishments we have achieved as a Club.          THE HOOK

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Thank You JAMES,

 

We are honored & humbled by the eloquent letter you prepared on our behalf. Being recognized by the outstanding SOLV Organization for this prestigious Community Service Award, as you know, is not our primary motivation. If, we have used the good energies of our Club Members to make our community & perhaps the small abused world, in which we all live, a little bit better, we will have accomplished a very “Good Thing.” 

 

Suffice to say, we very much appreciate your endorsement of our efforts & will be pleased to append your letter to the SOLV Nomination Application that Barbra Dudley is about to submit on our behalf.

 

P>S>>> Thank you Barbra, for the many contributions you have made to get this SOLV Nomination Application to this point. I believe it is fair to say, we can proceed with confidence.       JOHN S>

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fish Growing Faster in Warming Waters

Fish Growing Faster in Warming Waters: "Fish Growing Faster in Warming Waters
John Roach
for National Geographic News
April 23, 2007

Fish are fattening up faster near the Pacific's surface, which is warming, while species in the deep sea are growing more slowly as that water cools, a new study says.

The shallow-living fish are growing 20 to 30 percent faster today than they were 50 years ago, according to the researchers' analysis of fish ear bones."

We had some friends visit us this week-end and we went to Depoe Bay on Sunday, April 22nd, for the annual Classic Wooden Boat Show and Crab Feed. All the volunteers were working like crazy and doing a great job, and wait . . . isn't that our own Mike Samples volunteering, as usual? Sure is. Good job, Mike.

Good thing we held running the picture.

Ted Sowers of Salem caught a 7-pound, 1-ounce largemouth bass on April 9 while fishing at Waverly Lake in downtown Albany.

The plan was to hold the photo, and run it with the past Wednesday's story about the red-hot spring bass bite in the Willamette Valley.

But several hours after shooting video and interviewing Sowers on April 16 fishing at Simpson Pond, also in Albany, a frantic voice came on the phone.

'Henry, I got a whale!' Sowers said."

IRAQ TROOPS FISHING TACKLE

FISH ALONG IN IRAQ >>>>>> FOLLOW-UP !!!!         (PROGRAM END DATE 30 April 07)

 

Hello Folks……..I just came from Wayde Dudley’s Garage & it look looked a SNAKE PIT !!!!  Yes…..That’s what I said, you see it always looks a Little Fuzzy, but today it was a “Snake Pit.”

 

A lot of you fine folks have given the Gulf Troops some really nice Rods & Reels…but …we thought it would be best, if we sent them Reels with fresh line.  So, that’s why Wayde’s Garage looked Badder than Usual…….He was stripping off the Old Rasty Line & Boys Howdy…..he was doing a good job of it !!!!!!!   Now, I thought about giving him a hand (you get the pun), but things were going along “Just Fine” without the Old HOOK getting involved.

 

I did slow him down just enough….to realize just how generous you all have been about Helping Our Troops with some of your fine excess Fishing Gear. Wayde thinks we are getting close to having a shipment ready to take over to the valley….for load out to the Troops in Iraq, by sometime early next month.

 

We are shooting for a “CLOSE OUT” on this “Great Troop Support Effort” by the EOM April !!!!!  So Here’s THE LAST PITCH.

 

FIRST OFF….WE WANT TO THANK EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN SO GENEROUS.

 

THEN….WE WANT TO APPEAL TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JUST PUT OFF DIGGING AROUND IN YOUR GEAR LOCKER…OR…IF YOU ARE TIGHTER THAN DICK’s HAT BAND ABOUT LETTING GO OF 1 OF YOUR 18 RODS & REELS THAT ARE STACKED UP IN THE CORNER.      LET’EM GO !!!!   CONTACT WAYDE !!!!

 

Believe me Folks……It’s all we could do to part with some of our excess Fishing Stuff……It hurts a little to see it go…but…when we thought about where it was going & who was going to get a little relief & maybe a little fun out of it……It did’nt hurt anymore !!!

We had a great tour of the commercial fishing boats on April 19th. About 25 of us met at the docks and were able to view and find out about several different kinds of fishing boats from Captain Mike Pettis. Please note how great everyone looks in the top picture with the matching LVH Fishing Club jackets - very impressive, if I do say so. Dean Fleck, of Englund Marine, was also on hand to point out several items of interest. We were able to enjoy the sunshine, watch some fishing boats coming and going, and enjoy the sea lions swimming among the boats. As if this wasn't enough, we then went to Englund Marine where we saw a great video on the life (including the perils) of the commercial fishermen. I'm sure everyone who was there would agree it was an excellent tour. A special note of thanks to Mac for sending the photos, since Yours Truly forgot her camera.

Check out fish-dbay for new items. Could be the deal you're looking for!

FISH-A-LONG IN IRAQ >>>>>> YES..That's what I said...Now stay with me on this !!!!

 

THE LONGVIEW HILLS FISHING CLUB IS SETTING IN MOTION A PROJECT TO PROVIDE FISHING TACKLE FOR OUR TROOPS NOW SERVING IN IRAQ !!!!

 

WAYDE DUDLEY is the RAM ROD on this Important Club Project. He has solid linkage with Scott Schuler the Host of KRKT's Morning Radio Talk Show, which is an affiliate of Clear Channel Communications Inc.

 

WE WANT YOUR FISHING TACKLE FOR OUR FISHING PALS IN IRAQ !!!!   Yes, these troopers actually can go fishing in the "Big Sand Box." It seems Saddam built a bunch of man made lakes & they contain BIG Carp & OTHER FISH. This is not quite like Fishing at Home, but it's better than a Poke In The Eye with a Sharp Stick  !!!!

 

What we are asking each of you to do is to dig around in your Fishing Tackle for RODS & REELS that are still very serviceable. We would prefer equipment suitable for Spin/Bait Casting...Although a Fly Rod or two would be OK.

 

PLEASE DIG DEEP...This is something that provides a lot of "Stand Down" enjoyment for our TROOPS !!!!

 

All you have to do is let WAYDE know what you have got to contribute..You can drop it by his home and/or He will pick it up. All Club Board Members are working closely with Wayde & we will gladly take your serviceable tackle or pick it up at your home. 

 

ANGLERS SUPPORTING FELLOW ANGLERS = CITIZENS SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS !!!!
