 THE REEL THING                                                                             June 2002

          May was an absolutely great fishing month for those of us who got out on the streams to do battle.  There were plenty of fish  - and big ones, too – caught, played, some kept for the pan and the smoker but most released.  A few of the folks who took advantage of the higher waters than normal and the excellent fishing, were Rick Matusiak (of course), his son, Alex, Jim Lloyd, Ray Cockburn, Scott Owen, Jay Hackney, Sharon McIntyre, Leon Schwartz, Sheila, Paul Quarrington and Paul Kennedy.  There may be others who tested the waters, but kept it to themselves, not wanting to brag about their results like the rest of us.

            We would like to welcome our two newest members, Bob Tanaka and Harry Yetman, a good friend of Brian Shannon.  Both these gentlemen bring a wealth of enthusiasm to the club and we are looking forward to their participation in many of our future activities.  Bob seems intent at the moment in improving his roll-casting and is working at it quite methodically, while Harry apparently enjoys the plug casting disciplines as well as working on his stroke with the fly rod.

            The first casting tournament of the year, The Scarborough Championships, just concluded with everyone acquitting themselves admirably.  Unfortunately, only one caster, Bill Wattie, from a club other than ours participated in the event and he took home most of the “A” Class laurels. Here is a summary of the winners:
