Mike I was unable to make it,
I was notified on Friday befor from Ca. not to drive any longer because of a medical condition, bummer.
Saturday 11th 2004 Jenks Lake
10th Annual - Jenks Lake Fishing Festival
The fish fest went smoothly...we had plenty of help, and lot's of fun, thanks!
Here are the fish stats:
Approx. # participants = 61
Approx. # SGWA and other volunteers = 51
Approx. # USFS staff and volunteers = 24
total # fish caught = 21
the most fish were caught by a girl = 4 (5, if you count the one that got
away!)
the longest fish was by a girl = 11.75 inches; 9.5 oz.
the fattest fish was caught by a chaperone = 11.75 inches; 12.5 oz.
The weather was perfect,
Smokey the Bear made an appearance in the morning, and since the fish were'nt biting we had plenty of extra volunteers to help with the fishing.
One child got stung by a bee, was given medical attention and sent home with a prize for being a trooper.
All the kids went home with a bag of fire prevention and fisheries related goodies, and a wonderful Jenks Lake T-shirt donated by SGWA.
Volunteers received a Jenks Lake T-shirt and/or "US Fish" baseball hat.
CDFG had stocked 600 lbs of fish, but lake was pretty full, which may have been the reason we only caught 21 fish. (Last year we caught 114, had 83 kids, and 83 volunteers).
Thanks again for getting the word out! We really, really appreciate it.
