I was stationed where the hard top road ended and the gravel road began on the Boy Scout Camp (Camp Powhatan) 2.5 miles from the lake. i was there from 7:00 a.m.

to 9:30 a.m. giving out meal tickets and directions with a state police and a parks and recreations director. funny. thought it was funny those two giving out tickets that you didn't have to pay. my relief came at 9:30 so i went to the lake to help out.

When i got to the lake i took a few pictures didn't get that many, i came upon the fish cleaning station with only 2 trying to clean all the fish. some of the kids had already caught the limit of 6 trout so i pitched in and thats where i had to stay the rest of the day untill they started giving out prizes. i missed most of the door prizes and big fish prizes. sorry NewAngler didn't get a picture of the kid that got the rod you sent (someone had a soft case that fit it perfect) was a great gift. the tackle we used in some of the empty tackle boxes- made great door prizes.

Most of the kids caught 6 trout the ones that didn't was the ones that came late. everyone got to eat, play games and we had a lot of displays set up to look at. one of the kids that came late was a little girl they got there around 12:30 she hadn't caught a fish by the time they was giving out the door prizes so she kept on fishing her mother had her ticket while she tried to catch a fish, the last 2 tickets was for a life time fishing license her ticket was the last ticket they drawed out, her mother and a few other was trying to get her to come around the lake to get her prize, she couldn't hear what anyone was saying but started to reel in to come around the lake thats when she caught her only fish. she was so excited i saw her jumping with excitement about the fish she had just caught. she had her dad put it in a big bucket of water to bring it around the lake, they didn't know about the license untill they got to the mother. that was a great few minutes, fish and license minutes apart.

I have a few pictures i'm going to try and post. i did get pictures of both kids getting life time license.

The boy in the blue shirt got big fish award look at the size of his fishing pole, the fish weighed 3lb 14oz there was some 5lbers but no one caught one

the two kids that got the life time license

a few more thats about all i got to take. next year i would like to see more bassresource members help out even if its a dollar it would help we could give more lifetime license out,better rod reel combos or more fish.

THANKS GLENN for letting me post about the kids fishing day!

now for a few days of rest and get some fishing in.

we had over 220 kids i think the thunder, lightning and light rain early turned some back and they didn't come.

few more pictures

Those are some nice trout. Always good to see kids having a good time.
