We have a busy schedule again this year! we cannot do all the things we do without a dedicated group of selfless volunteers. Our volunteers are working people, professionals, young, old, men and women. The only thing we all have in common is that we care about our community and we want our children and grandchildren to be able to take part in and to enjoy fishing like we do. Come join us!
