For The Enjoyment Of Others ....

Keep watching ----  and you might see it happening......

Porcupine Cribs waiting to be set.

A joint venture has been developing to set fish structures in the lake.  They are designed to improve the fish habitat and thereby improve the fishing.  Members who fish in our lake will likely benefit, but so too will the youngsters in the up-coming fishing derby.  In fact, the Cub Scouts have been using the the lake as part of their outdoor activities the past couple of years with fishing being a large part of their day.

Add to this, all the members and their children & grandchildren that are seen fishing on and around the lake and this project is surely worthwhile.

Group Effort

The project has involved a community effort.  The list is long ---
-

Project Co-ordinator - John Hayes

Beckner Lumber donated the wood

Leslie Young gave the blocks for weights

BBSD Tech ED (headed by Instructor Eric Craig) built them.

Berlin Volunteer FD

Berlin Ambulance Service

Shanksville Water Rescue

Surely people were missed on this list,  people who worked behind the scene.  Sorry, but hopefully the real satisfaction is in knowing you helped others, especially the youngsters. 

The Schedule

The easiest way to set the cribs is to slide them out on a frozen lake and let them sink as the ice melts. Simple, but not so simple.  It takes manpower to move the cribs, and emergency personal for safety.  AND of course it takes ICE.  That is the key ingredient, and that is what needs to happen first.
-
Once the ice is thick enough, an announcement will be issued as to the SUNDAY for the work to be done. If you would like to be notified, send your email to the Club email address on the back of your membership card.  You will be put on the list to be notified.  Or you can comment on this Blog post.
