Hello Everyone,
With the Minnesota fishing opener this weekend. Hopefully you've all had a chance to get your boat in the water already. If you are able to get out this weekend and are lucky enough to get a big one, make sure to send it to us so we can use it in our BLC photos of the month (does not need to be a muskie). You can also use this time to get in on the Lake Cleanup Challenge, we will give the $50 fleet farm gift card away next Tuesday at our Monthly Meeting.
In the last month I was able to spend some time working with Aitkin DNR fisheries. They are doing a netting study on Cedar Lake in Aitkin, they have been coming up with a few smaller males from the 37"- 47" range. It was a fun thing to be a part of and I would recommend if you get that chance, do it.
We have a few youth events coming up, the first one is June 8th, Brainerd youth fishing clinic at Lum Park. Followed up the next weekend June 15th by the Everything Youth Expo which is at the Crow Wing County Fair Grounds. Lastly, our Youth Night which will be held at the Nisswa Community Center August 13. We are looking for volunteers for all these events.
Finally, Next Tuesday we are holding our annual Lure Swap & Membership Drive. If you cleaned out your tackle box and are looking to try and sell some baits, rods, reels or any other fishing equipment bring it on Tuesday. We are also doing our membership drive. Something new we are doing this year is giving away a Youth Lifetime Fishing License. We will draw for this at the June meeting. So, all family memberships with an eligible youth who signed up or renewed January 1 to May 31 will be entered to win.
Have a safe fishing opener.
