Since January of 1998, the Klub has met nearly every month and membership has nearly tripled. Eighty percent of our initial members still belong. Guest Speakers were invited to meetings to share fishing skills, demonstrate fishing tackle and other equipment, and give talks. Our club now holds field trips year-round. Members have fished streams for trout, fished the Mississippi River by boat and from fishing piers, and ice-fished on Mississippi River backwaters on several occasions.
Members now participate in several committees.
A Library Committee is pooling a collection of fishing books, videos and magazines that other members can borrow. The Equipment Committee set up a program to share fishing tackle and equipment that chapter members loan each other. The Wall of Fame Committee maintains a bulletin board that features photos from chapter field trips and personal fishing adventures. We hope the varied opportunities to get together keep fishing fun for kids and help them find others with the same enthusiasm. We want to keep feeding their interest in fish, outdoor play and resource protection.
