THE
REEL THING July
2004
Well lead off this edition of the Reel Thing with a summary of the
scores in our tournament.
Congratulations to Harvey Beck who eked out a win in the All-Round
over John Seroczynski by a single point
.the point where I finished
ahead of him in the Bass Bug. Harvey also captured the All-Accuracy and All
Distance. The hotly contested Best Sport Trophy was won by Harold Higdon in
his first ever tournament and bravely casting all six accuracies. Sharon
McIntyre was also in the running for that, along with our scorekeeper, Jim
Lloyds wife, Deb. If youre surprised at the rather poor scores in the
accuracy games, it must be pointed out that the casters had to contend with
terribly windy conditions.
The
first event was B Class Dry Fly won by Jay Hackney with a score of 82
Harold
was second with 76 and Ray Cockburn, third with 70. Sharon had 68 in her first
ever competitive Dry Fly.
The
A Class Dry Fly was won by John with
a fine 97 in extremely windy conditions. Harvey took second with 92 and
Jim, third with 87
B
Class Trout Fly was also won by Jay with an 88 while Harold took second again
with 81 and Ray third with 76.
A Class Bass Bug was won by Harv with 90,
while I beat Jim by a single point for second place with 87.

it just in time for the distance games Sunday Morning. He cast all seven
disciplines for the first time and did not look out of place at all. George is

Jim and I worked over the Picnic Grounds on the Ganny last Sunday and
caught quite a few small fish, but did see several brutes. I did manage to
snare a 16 incher which Sheila and I devoured for supper.
