Salem Chapter News Letter 10 May 2018<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ladies, Gentlemen, and fishermen of all ages\u0014this is your chapter news letter and update. We get some sun, the weather warms and the darn weeds and grass grow faster, \u001cLife gets Teajus don\u0019t it\u001d. {An old C&W song there}. Hope you have been fishing and \u001c<\/span>catching<\/b><\/i><\/span>\u001d. <\/span><\/p>\n

I want to thank the members<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> who showed up for the cleaning and maintenance of Minto Park on the 5<\/span>th <\/span><\/sup>of May. Some folks brought heavy duty equipment and lots of elbow grease. We left the park in much better shape than we found it. Weather was cool at the start but when we ate our delicious \u001ccook out\u001d lunch [see what you missed] it was just right, no rain. Thanks again for your help. <\/span><\/p>\n

N.W. Steelheaders magazine<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> that you should have received last week has an very interesting and informative article penned by <\/span>President Brian Winn<\/i><\/span>. The article is on page 15, titled \u001cSalem Teachings,\u001d. You will find it very informative. Brian continues his treatments and rehabilitation for the loss of his leg and is improving. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Learn the River trip,<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> scheduled for May 5<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> was rescheduled for May 12th, weather and river permitting. This run will be from Mehama boat ramp to Stayton boat ramp. Last shuttle will leave Stayton at 9:30 am. There will be a safety meeting, signing of releases in case of injury and underway at 10:00 am. This run will be a bit more challenging than the last trip and there will be a portage using the boat slide at Bennett Dam just east of Stayton. Each boat should have a minimum of 100 ft of rope to get your boat down the slide. For more information, please contact Bob Lusk at 1-503-559-5576; no answer leave a message and your number and he will get back to you. If you plan to go and want to see some recent photos of the area around the dam, contact me at: johnston@wvi.com<\/a> I will send them to you. <\/span><\/p>\n
