Our Next Tournament: Riffe Lake August 14th

Twin Lakes 4H Casting Contest

Hats off to Bev Baker, Bob and Dorothy Steiner, Kathy Swanlund and Leon Lilly. After professional instruction and practice casts, the happy campers at Twin Lakes 4H camp took a turn at winning a ribbon for casting accuracy. This was the 30th year we have helped at the summer camp for Kitsap County 4H. It is great to see kids of kids who participated in this event when they were kids. Our connections to community run deep (35 years ago Lynn Morris, club plank owner married Margaret White- White Family owned Twin Lakes camp property, 35 years later Corrina Coan is 4H coordinator and WAS married to-Past WSFBC President Jimmy Coan) Does anyone other than me, remember the year the Department of Game drowned the beaver, after show and tell for the kids? Someone went with me to retrieve the ear tag and bury the carcass.

More on Duck Lake

I found this to be good reading. If you read it carefully, I think you will see that part of the problem is CATCH AND RELEASE. It is hard to believe, but I think that is the gist of the decline in Bluegill (major forage). By releasing all the fish we catch for the past 10 years we created a dominant predator population in the lake. Usually dominant predators are about 2% of the total population. Read Warm Water Report for Duck Lake and be prepared to discuss this at our next meeting. Special thanks to WDFW for this link.

Stay Involved!

Long Lake Bass Club was established in 1975 as a grass roots political opposition to the poisoning of bass, by the Department of Wildlife.

It has evolved and attained a balance of: fellowship, fishing, education, activism and "being a part of the solution" through listening,learning and experience. We have learned about our states unique habitats and fishes, and will continue to protect our waters and fish. We have learned that a diversity of species is essential to healthy populations of all wildlife. They are intertwined with our existence. We will teach this as our heritage. Our "specie of preference" is no better or worse than yours, it is just a part of the big picture.
