GCF MAKES DONATION TO REEL RECOVERY

Ken Richards of Just Fishin' Guides donated a day of guided fishing to GCF at the March Meeting as part of his presentation on smallmouth bass fishing and Reel Recovery for men with Cancer. At Shawn Childress' suggestion the club voted to auction the trip at the annual club picnic and to donate the winning bid to Reel Recovery. Gary and Riley made the winning bid of $300 and that has been donated to Reel Recovery. 

Gary Kilpatrick and I did get to have our guided fishing trip with the Just Fishin Guides in June.  It was a great trip floating down the Kings River just East of Eureka Springs Arkansas.  We will be giving a full report at the August meeting.
