WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
Hugh McDowell from New Zealand sent several pictures of
fish and art work to John Newbury in Chewelah, WA. After seeing this collection
of multi-pound fish, is there any question why people want to go there to fish.

SPRING HILL RESERVOIR SIGNS INSTALLED Many FFF clubs do jobs to improve fishing, but they are seldom recognized outside of a few local people. Here members of the Wenatche Valley Fly Fishers are installing one of several signs encouraging people to pack out their trash. Bilingual (spanish and english) signs like this are used in many places. Is this work really needed. YES! Their cleanup effort at Spring Hill Reservoir netted beer bottles, etc. to fill over ten large rubbish bags from the dam face. They also installed signs advising people .to keep obstructions out of the spillway. |

What is this fellow standing on? He is standing on a V-Structure. It is part of a stream restoration project on Brett Creek, a tributary to the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River, Idaho. After spring run-off in 2005 it should look like this with a pool to protect native cutthroat. Two Washington clubs and one Idaho club took part in the work.

Getting kids and parents out fishing is the
objective of the Fishing Kids days. It is OK if they use a spinning rod
and bait.
Some will develop a lifetime interest in fishing, maybe even move on
to fly fishing. |
