Muskies, Inc. CH 57 was glad to help out at American Lake on Saturday.
Terry Rudnick, Youth Sport Fishing Coordinator from Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, organized 600 young anglers (100 at a time) for an introduction to rainbows!
Even though it was 10 hours from start to finish (these things don't "just happen”) the time flew by. Mostly because Terry kept us charged up and laughing.
It was especially rewarding, for me, to see so many young girls trying their hand at catching fish.
The squeals of disgust over having to put the worm on the hook, gave way to squeals of delight when they came face to face with Mr. Trout. What a hoot. They came to the lakeside, timid and not quite sure... an left... empowered.
Who knows where that little spark can go?
Giving back to the community and helping out the WDFW and teaching the anglers of tomorrow are some of the best reasons to belong to a group of fishermen and to washingtonlakes.com.
So glad I got to be part of it.
If you have not done one of these, I HIGHLY recommend it, especially now that WDFW is in more need of volunteers..
The pictures below say it best: do you remember your first time fishing??

Tiger Muskies are sterile.
You can't keep them under 50 inches:
Let them do their job: Eating N.P.Minnows
