100 W. Indiana, Chesterton, IN. Directions: https://binged.it/2bmPrW7 -

Luhr Park ‘s Kid’s Fishing Day was on June 1st 2019. Everyone had a great time teaching

future fisherman. We hope that next year we can have more participation into this event

with the membership. We always have a great time with the kids.

Skamania Mania was held on June 22 and 23. Results are on the next page.

Our fish from the event were donated to various organizations. As you know we normal-

ly would have donated them to the Wild Game Cookout at the State Fair in August, but

we received an email from the DNR that there would be no event this year. Sadly, the

clubs who participated were dwindling down to just a handful.

We have a lot to discuss concerning the membership. We have a few new ideas that

need to be discussed concerning the General Meetings and the attendance in the past

couple of years. We need the membership to participate in this discussion. We hope you

can attend to put in your ideas as well as vote on changes coming up.
