DAV Sat.

The help others offered me paid off and I was able to put my Vet on some fish. Thanks again to all who offered advice, my big fear was of not getting my new friend some fish. We caught 16 Kokes ( most small) lost a couple of high flyers and one rainbow, no Cutts for some reason. He was able to net 1 koke that was a solid 3 pounds and one about 2, the rainbow was 16 or 17 in. A beautiful morning with a nice guy, I enjoyed myself.
Thanks to Redmon Salt and Pikeman for the sandwiches, and for shuttling everyone up the hill. I think everone had a good time judging by the Smiles.

Sounds like a great day! Where were the kokes hiding? We only found a handful of decent slot cuts and a bunch of medium-small bows... Still a fun day for the vets even though I considered it a slow one!

We fished from the rocky point near the dam to the campground and around the edges of a hump out in the middle.

Yes, that who Glen(Pikeman) works for. We did best with a Chartreuse spinner blade with orange splatter behind a silver dodger. All Kokanee Creek stuff.

Yes yes thank you guys. But I am just the messenger. Redmond likes to take care of a lot of sponsorships. I'd like to say if the guys down south knew what kind of money we throw in foreign countries they would cry even more for a raise. His (the CO"s) philosophy is what goes around comes around. I would just like to say thanks to each one of you volunteers. It is my hope and my prayer that we can pick up another 10-15 boaters to dedicate one day out of the 365 days they can go fishing to take a disabled vet. I wanted to give BIG thanks to wetone and wipermac and for all the unnamed volunteers a Big Thank you. Kudo's to everyone involved. It's only going to get bigger. So we will need more help. One more thing It's good that everyone was able to catch fish but if you think about the big realm of things for some of them guys just getting to come and go for a boat ride, maybe drive your boat, and rub shoulders with people is an exciting day for them. You can tell by the people who have come back every year that they eat I up. And Todd the tournament bags were a hit. They loved it.
