The Trout outing on April 25th, in Dunsmuir on the upper Sacramento River had a good turnout of members and their guests who thoroughly enjoyed the weather and the beautiful surroundings. Some members and guests met Saturday in the Firehouse in Dunsmuir for the Firemen’s Pancake Breakfast. Our member Ron Lewis won the coveted Fresh Water Kingfish Badge by landing the biggest Trout measuring 16.5 in. size. The Saturday evening’s banquet in the Piemont Restaurant in Mt Shasta, was attended by 18 members, guests and local friends of our club.
